This started out as just a quick sketch that I was going to use for lighting and watercolor practice, but turned into a bit more than that. I got obsessed with bark and gnarly roots, that it seemed fitting to put a bit more effort than a quick study, and here's the result. I don't know if I was 100% successful conveying good light and dark, and I ran into some trouble with my masking fluid peeling up the paper when I was trying to remove it, but I did enjoy working on it these last few weeks, and I think I'm beginning to get a slightly firmer grasp of how to use watercolors. If you're interested I added a few scraps of the tree drawing.
