This is another composite sketch of tree bark and leaves (see yesterday’s sketch). The interactions between the lines of each subject creates a complex design. The watercolors applied atop the pen and ink sketch simplifies the initial visual impression of this piece, allowing viewers to investigate details at their leisure.

Wonderful sketch! 👏👏
Thanks, Priti!
I really love this.
Thank you, Claudia! I like merging the pen and ink sketches. Color adds yet another dimension. I’m excited about this mode of making an image.
I really like the clarity and gracefulness this approach seems to give. Complexity without confusion or muddiness. I am looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks, Claudia. Yes, so far so good. The watercolor overlay has a lot to do with smoothing over any confusion.
