The weather was better today but only in the afternoon. I scouted about to find those lovely trees that I have always longed to draw or paint but only do so in my dreams, or sometimes in my mind....I discovered this one in the bush around Belvedere. I then made myself comfortable and gave it a go.
I have used sanguine and sepia dust, watercolour, gouache, Biro and coloured pencils to achieve this.
Also here is a picture I managed to get of myself by balancing my camera on a tree and setting it on a self-timer. Aha no one was present in the bush to snap this time.

I have been following your blog and truly love your work. The drawings of the people on your commute are wonderful and inspiring. Ok, now I know what I want to be when I grow up. Just kidding. I am all grown up but I still want the skill you have achieved. Thanks for continuing to share in your blog.
