Have you heard of forest bathing? It is a thing. Check it out.
My daily woods walks give me peace of mind. I often notice a solo tree deep in the woods.
This connection to nature is essential to my well being. Today, I thought let’s try to draw one of those trees that catch my attention.
The challenge was intended to be fun and informative.
I really looked at the tree and tried to capture the way the branches drooped and the spaces between them. I tried pen, charcoal, watercolor and pastels. It was a process of looking and making marks in response to the tree.
I encourage you to try walking in the woods and then draw a tree. Maybe it will inspire your art making process. More inspiring ideas.
