5 days 5 ways Challenge – Trees – Day 1

Okie here’s day one for Kal’s art challenge.

It didn’t turn out nearly as wonderful as I wish I could do but still I got to play with my oil pastels which is awesome since I hadn’t even touched them at all.

I went searching for tutorials and found these:
tree tutorial part 1
tree tutorial part 2

This tutorial is the reason I picked trees for my theme and I loved watching it. Of course, he makes it look so much easier than it actually is. At least to me.

The quote says: “I love trees because they seem more resigned to live the way they have to than other things do.” and it’s by Willa Cather.

There you go, day 1 down. I’ve started on day two and even day three and I am so excited about how much fun all this experimenting is. That’s the whole point after all.

And remember this is going to be my journal which is why I have all that empty space to write in as well.
