Painting the forest part 2
I hope you’re doing well! I just wanted to share a little about our painting adventure. Picture this: we’re surrounded by these stunning silver birch trees towering above us, their leaves dancing in the breeze. The undergrowth is lush and vibrant, covering the ground like a cozy blanket.
There's this lovely winding path cutting through the forest, inviting us to explore and get inspired. I wait to share this amazing forest and how nature can spark creativity.

Hawk
I’m thrilled to share our upcoming project with you all! To kick things off, we’ll start by creating a detailed line drawing of our hawk. This drawing will serve as a reference placed beneath our paper, ensuring we capture every aspect of this magnificent bird.
We’ll be using Chinese ink for the painting process, which is going to be absolutely fantastic! The ink will really help us bring out the intricate details and textures of the hawk’s feathers and form. I can’t wait to see how it all comes together!
Let’s get ready to unleash our creativity!
