Tree Movements


Today I am drawing a tree. But I am not just drawing a tree, I am drawing the movements on a tree. It is my assignment all week. Lui asked me to observe the different movements around me and I chose the tree at the back of our house.

I have to keep practicing the use of primary colors to achieve secondary colors because I always forget! So to make green leaves I use blue and then I blend in yellow. I use red to darken it and to achieve brown shadows! And yellow to capture the light coming from the sun!

The leaves are falling and the birds are chirping. Do you see the movements on my tree?

Tree!


I do lines and spiral drawings when I feel groggy from the medications I am taking. It helps me to focus and to concentrate on what I am doing. It keeps me alert and calm too. Lui taught me to use these lines and spirals to create compositions like the tree above.
