Description
An idea i had from a 'doodle'. I don't usually do anything with doodles but i thought i'd try it with this one.What is it supposed to be? just a tree, a green tree. A symbol of so many things, the most obvious being growth and even rebirth.
I did some sketches to back it up so i'll download them too, so people can see how the idea took shape.
Watercolours and salt on 300gsm paper. The real fun thing was using a 'rigger' for the first time on the linework, it really makes it easy!

Beautiful! I particularly like the opposing gradients on the rays. You managed a balanced look between controlled and spontaneous

Hmmmm, i like your thinking! Maybe i should do a series? i'd like to do a similar one where the tree and leaves look different and the colour scheme is diff. too

Yeah, i am reminded of the series of figures 'Yuemi22' did in different colours and elements i think! Maybe something like that
