Mature trees make interesting subject matter! Inspired by another artist to study tree shapes, I my pen to the trees! I begin with sketchy marks up the trunk, marking shadow areas. With a very light touch, I barely mark the background. A wet brush does the rest, moving ink and getting my mid-tones. I finish with a little detail work, careful to save my whites. With ink, once those whites fill in, there is no getting them back! Two previous tree studies spread to black before I could stop the water flow! I may just try to soak that paper and see if I can reclaim it from the dark side! Lol! Painting number 2020 in 2020 days.
