Sketchbook Tree Study_001
I’m on the second stage of my experimentation. I have a process that I will try on a large scale using painted ink, watercolor applied with sponges and oil pastel. I drew a field of trees that are here on Ameland in my sketchbook.

I drew all of the trees and the most significant branches in the sketchbook then gridded out the drawing into one inch squares. I drew a larger grid on a piece of colored charcoal paper and divided into three inch squares. I’m in the process of redrawing trees and branches onto the larger paper using ink and a brush. I plan to add all of the smaller branch details after the complete composition has been painted in ink on the larger paper.
