Tree of Life ~ pt. 5
With the composition set down in my previous sketch I felt free to loosen up the lines as I went along with this draft. I left visible pencil marks to encourage this play when I begin my glass work. I’ll be using a copper foil technique, which works well with organic shapes. The less rigid I am following lines while cutting glass, the more interesting the end result. After so many challenges sort forth by the committee, I’m pleased with how I’ve implement their ideas .
I hope this will be the last sketch . . .
And the last watercolor!
The next big challenge will be my choice and use of glass. The fun has just begun!
I meet once more with the committee after the July 4 holiday. Stay tuned.
Now, to clean my studio . . .
