The walking tree moves with great demure and elegance. It walks along the rocky areas of the forest. One moment it is still and then the next, it has moved one of it's roots. You don't know it's moving until you find the tree in a different spot of the forest. It is stealth. When I spotted the reference photo for this tree, I just had to draw it. I immediately thought of a tree walking along the rocky outcrops of a forest. A reference photo was used, however I was not a slave to it. As usual, I played with the drawing and got lost in the detail. This drawing is framed with 100% archival materials and is drawn on Saunders watercolour hot pressed paper (425gsm) which is also 100% archival.
