This is the same tree that I painted and wrote about in my previous post, this time on paper with a different size and with pencils. This very large tree deserves more than only one watercolour painting.
For this drawing I have used only pencils and I did not even need to use water and a second layer of pencil to make this 'portrait of a tree'. My reference pictures do not show much more of the height of this plane tree so I can only hope to be believed when I write that it is much higher than my drawing shows.
For this drawing I did not add the smaller branches and the fruits hanging from them. These are of course part of the tree, but as there are so many smaller branches and fruits they might 'take over' this drawing and that is not what I wanted to happen. Only the main structure of the tree is here and for me that is impressive enough.
Maybe in a next drawing, when I am using other materials, I will add these smallest branches and fruits again.
The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this work and - if you are interested in my original artwork - my contact information can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
