Weird title, I know -w- Just ignore it.
This is a project for University. We were given the "idea", which was THE FACT OF THE ESSENCE. Do whatever you want. And I did this!

The sense of it is that I understand the essence as the principal fact of a living being (no matter if they are human, animal or vegetal). But I also think that we are not given that essence from the very beginning. We have to develope it while we live, as we grow up. That´s how you get your real essence, who you really are. And that, for me, is the fact of living.

That explains the tree: in my brainstorming, that idea was one of the firsts that appeared. Later on came some others, such as circles, seeds, water, etc.

It´s been fun making something more complex after trying to do simpler things. I´ve spent almost a month with this project (not each day, you know, but still xD). I also tried some new things, like brown ink, which I mixed with liquid watercolors to get new colors (like greenish brown and redish brown. Couldn´t make blueish xD). I even put some alcohol drops on it (thanks to Ana de Carro). And, this makes me a little proud, this pic didn´t start as a drawing. I wanted it to be a painting from the start, not just a colored drawing, and I think I achieved that
