At first I made a sketch for the upcoming painting with a pencil on a small sheet of paper. There I contemplated general composition and shape of the lines.
As seen from the first sketch I was considering a version where an owl is sitting on one of the branches. But then I decided to make it as minimalistic as possible and shifting from the figurative more to the abstract. For me it is not just trees but lines and shapes representing certain energies. Thus I consider that bold vertical rhythmical shapes are translating the energy of steady growth and extending, intersecting parabolas represent expansion. Those are the energies that I believe are important for me and my husband. Thin, willowy, wriggling lines add lightness, life and freshness smoothing the basic shapes of the painting.
After I finished sketching I started transferring the drawing on the wall using my measurements (numbers on the sketch :) and proportions, correcting and moving elements a little in the process. I used pastel and chalk for drawing contours, it seems to me that they are more practical than a pencil because you can easily erase them with a piece of cloth leaving no trace where it is not needed.
It wasn't easy to take a picture of thin light contours, so for clarity I will just show you one fragment of the wall.
After all the contours were ready I just meditatively filled them with white color...
... And then I covered it with white color once more for the second layer :)
This is what turned out as a result:
It looks more alive and is blending seamlessly in the interior:
It turned out quite simple but nicely loooking project :)
I wish you a good day and inspiration in all your works!
