Another pencil sketch. I have deliberately limited myself at the moment to working outdoors, only with pencil on paper, in order not to get distracted by colour etc and increase my focus on what is possible with that medium. This was made in about an hour in a beautiful area called syvårssøerne (seven year lake) near Randbøl, Denmark. So named as the lake only appears (more or less) every seven years…

I love the drawing of the tree, something solid and sheltering about it.
Yes there are lots of lovely, weather beaten pine trees in the area which are really nice to draw… 🙂
