STEP ONE
These sun bleached trees with their twisted shapes are irresistible to me, whilst some people find them spooky, if you look at them from a different point of view you will see the elegant shapes and gestures in their bare branches. I began this piece with a very basic charcoal sketch directly onto the paper. As I already had a clear idea of where I hoped this painting would end up, it was really just to get the size of different elements in relation to each other and give some idea of whether the composition/concept was sound. In this particular piece I am only using the reference photo as an idea, ie the dead tree, the slight rise in the foreground, the background hills etc.
