In the comfort zone
You know all that stuff about stepping out of your comfort zone? How it supposedly will make you better and bigger and more successful? I have no problem with sticking in the comfort zone. Doing what suits best and not stressing out with trying something new and exiting. At least not all the time. Thus today I entered, nay leaped, to my comfort zone and results were something that made me very happy.
Trees are totally in that comfort zone for me. I like trees. I like taking photos of trees and I find myself pretty okay at drawing them too. Especially birches. Using bold and contrasting colours, keeping things simple, but mixing techniques and medias and letting the brush strokes show are also very me. Thus I took my oil pastels and watercolours and messed around drawing and painting colourful trees and branches.
Now that I've found my comfort zone I think I'll roam in it more and more. Hopefully the outcomes are as satisfying as these.
