Almost there...tree twenty-nine...

What a busy day.  But I did carve out some time for tree number twenty-nine.  Twenty-nine.  I am almost there.  For this tree I did not do any of my usual pre-drawing.  I started with on face, looking straight on, and then started using the text intertwined with hair to gradually construct the trunk of the tree, drawing additional faces where they seemed to fit.  

I started to add more black to the right side of the tree... sitting down drawing it is a little tough to really see the work.  I did stand a little, looking and then swooping in to make a mark here and there…I think I will need to go back into this one and make the increase in the dark values a little more gradual from left to right, it is too abrupt.  Also...for this one I really focused on using my text as an element to move around the composition and as scaffolding for constructing the tree form.  

I will not be ‘in the studio’ this week…dare I take my sketchpad with me?  I feel like if I do take it I will neglect it, and then I will be mad at myself for dragging it with my and not using it.  Then again, I feel like I should really do some reflecting before I just into my final tree…if it is in fact to be the final tree.  I need to sit down and look at each drawing, allow the previous marks to inform what is to be this last (?) tree.  So I am going to leave my big ‘ol sketch pad sitting on my drawing table, waiting for me to finish that last page.  And I really don’t know what my next step will be.  I have some canvasses waiting, I could move to charcoal or pastel and loosen up…will have to see where inspiration leads me.  But for now, here's tree twenty-nine.
