The best of your tree series so far Mia, so full of character.

I like the effect of the watersoluble pencil, Mia. A lovely drawing of the tree.

A great drawing of a superb tree.

Another fine drawing and a great subject. These old dead trees are eye-catching, and seem to last for ages...almost having a second 'life'. Odd thing to say about something dead, but you know what I mean.

Many thanks Paul and Lewis for your encouraging comments.

Really nice drawing Mia, its a good composition, would love to see it if you colour wash one of the drawings.

Thank you David and Carole for your positive comments. Yes, David, I am thinking of a coloured watercolour version of this one. Maybe tomorrow...

Again a lonely tree. This time I used a watersoluble graphite pencil and gave it a wash with clear water. When dry, I added some detail with the pencil on top of the wash. Size A4. All comments are very welcome :) Mia
