Today I was able to complete the remainder of the bark on the larger maple tree. I also started to work on the carpet of fallen leaves which is proving a bit of a challenge due to their small size relative to my pastel chalks. More sharpening is in order to get those fine lines (I don't particularily like the result of pastel pencils on velour as they are too hard and not much color is transfered to the paper). More to come soon, I hope.

This is going to be fabulous, Colette! I love it already.
ReplyDeleteColette, you're on the home stretch and it looks terrific! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product, complete with mats and frame. Squirrels rock!
ReplyDeleteFantastic Colette. The tree looks amazing, very real. Can't wait to see it finished, good to see you back hard at work as well after your hols!
