This project isn't finished currently, but i'm excited to complete it!I used acrylic colored pencil. I chose more of light colors. Including purples, pinks, and oranges. The piece looks more colder though, because I also used a lot of greens and blues. As well as turquoise. I chose purple for the building in the back, because it looks further away, I think, with the purple. Especially the darker trees against it. I matched the same color as the building with the tree in front. Yet it stands out a lot, because that is the only place I put orange, blue, and a bright pink. I love how the tree stands out, but I'm also happy that you don't totally ignore the building in the back, in my opinion. I know once i'm done i am going to cut some of the right side of the paper to make it more narrow and to cut the roots more. The type of tree is a seder tree. Seder trees have openings where there branches come out. Also the bark has many sections where it looks split and inward. I placed blues and dark purples in those areas. Obviously where i placed the pinks and lighter colors is the outward parts of the bark. The grass was fun to color because I love the areas that show the opening of the papers color, and then filling it with light greens and blues. When I finish the background with more of the small, taller trees the seder tree will pop out even more. Overall I am very happy with this piece. Completion is almost accomplished.
Completion a success! I wish the camera would pick up more of the bright colors. I added the background and more orange trees. I am actually putting this into the Halle show. I hope it is a good choice. I like it a lot. I like how it isn't too crowded with trees and leaves. And i am happy I kept the leaves green instead of doing crazy colors. My favorite part is the main focus, which is obviously the trunk of the tree. i hope you enjoy the transition of color and lines as much as I do.
