Lately I've been seeing a lot of different artists making drawings on actual pieces of wood. I thought the idea was so great and was excited to give it a shot! I bought this piece of wood at Michaels about two months ago, but I've been procrastinating ever since because I was positive I would somehow screw it up. Since I downloaded Paper 53 for my ipad, I really haven't been doing any traditional drawings, and last night I figured I'd just go for it. It was the first time I just started drawing without an actual sketch in from of me, and to be honest I was surprised with the results! It's the first drawing I've done in a while that I actually like! The only thing I didn't like was how messy the bark of this piece of wood was. Since the moment I took off the plastic wrap, pieces of bark have been peeling off everywhere! At one point I even caught my dog licking it! (Must have tasted good!) Anyways, I'm sure I could somehow glue a hook to the back of it so it can be displayed on a wall. I am definitely going to be experimenting with wood art again very soon!
