The Infinity Tree, the tree bridge, merges water and sky through the realms of Ether.
Or so many origin myths allude.
This tree is the vision. We have the final drawing stage for this iteration, precursor to the painting, and a part of the Tree Bridge series.
I'm showing the final drawing, but also, I have some more conceptual roughs to shed some light on. These additional process sketches came out of the process for the painting, now beginning its fresh life on the studio board.
From the last tree post, IV, here's the rest of the development in rendering the drawing out:
"The Infinity Tree"
Final drawing with graphite and graphite wash on hot press, 10x15".
I do not have this framed yet, as the final drawing frame is a special project in itself. I'm building it out of not-so-standard materials for a unique finish. More for that along with the painting development!
I still need to make full size scans, as well.
Pre-Orders for art prints of the drawing are available now.
Contact me directly for interest here
But then there are those conceptual roughs that I peppered throughout the process of this drawing development.
To shake the creative process up a bit, and keep the blood oxygenated nicely along the way, these were done in mixed media on drawing paper, with the tempting gold leaf touch.
Here are some process and detail samples:
Notice, these concept roughs are all not only mixed media, but an abstraction of representational tree form, designed and gestural, each at approximately 5x7".
There will be more on the development in future application of these rough trees.
On to the Infinity Tree painting, for this project!
