Drawn on-site, near home. Here, I wanted to draw the twisting, meandering, tubular forms within this Weeping Myrtle trunk (growing by the side of the road within suburbia). The movements of form within the trunk’s forms are very expressive of being part of an old watercourse.

The colour work, done using high quality watercolour pencils, was added to reinforce the expression of forms and the expression of space around the forms. Surfaces that are close to me have been coloured to be more orange. Pale blues have been applied to indicate the air that sits behind forms.
