The assignment from the course I am taking:
Magical Forest
was to paint an abstract forest
the one above does not look that abstract to me
so I made a second one.
Are either of them abstract?

This is called negative painting.
you outline the subject (tree) with paint, instead of painting the tree itself.
One of many things I am experiencing in this course is finding the artist in me
that existed before this world told me:
mountains aren't that pointy
trees aren't that color
this is how you draw a flower
etc.
It is so fun to take pencil or brush to paper and make marks and eventually finding things from life in it.
I get absorbed in the movement of the brush, the marks the pencil makes
just for that experience.
I love it.

I hope this finds you enjoying your day.
