This exercise was really challenging! It did help me stay focused, but judging lengths, sweeps, curves of the continuous line to end up back where I started just didn’t happen. It’ll be interesting when I go outside to try the exercise….when it warms up a tad. 15 degrees F today, windy with a wind chill around 9.
I started by sketching the branches, leaves and finally the shape of the bird. So much to learn! Getting shapes right, how to mix colors & get fine lines without bleeding. I found the whole process very meditative and could have gotten lost in this first project for a couple of hours. Will continue to practice mixing colors, and then will work on filling in the branches, leaves, lichen and moss.
