Art Every Day #1 - Tree Sketch
Jump to Comments
Yesterday we saw a grouping of trees that took our breath away. This is my attempt to capture one of them. I am slowly learning to sketch. What I had to remove first was the thought that I can’t sketch. I can, but am just learning. That still sounds like an excuse, doesn’t it?

Amanda,
You are incredibly talented! And your photography from the hike is too. Your daughter has an eye for beauty ~
I didn’t know you were a tree hugger

You are just learning, and this is how you sketch?
WOW.
Hope to see more of these…

ok, trying again.
if this duplicates, forgive me.
Beautiful! I love to draw trees but haven’t done so in a while. It will have to be one of my challenges for Art Everyday.

Learning to sketch….that looks a far way from just learning. Love it and it would look nice in a few areas of my home.

Thanks for the encouragement, y’all. I just figured out my problem with sketching. I know what the ‘real’ object looks like, and I compare too critically. I am going to view my sketching as ‘inspired by’ rather than ‘duplicating’ the subject.
Thank you for your voices.

“Inspired by” I *like* that phrase! Your tree is beautiful and I’m inspired by your trying. Actually, your blog has inspired me beyond just sketching and I am enjoying myslef so much. Thank you!
