Trees using straws





































When thinking of how to create a winter tree, i thought back to when i was in primary school and we would add paint to the bottom of the page and use a straw to spread the paint across the page like branches without leaves on. I tried it on greaseproof paper, lined paper and fabric using water colour and it was very successful on the greaseproof paper but was completely unsuccessful on fabric. I then tried it using acrylic paint on fabric and it created a completely different shape, quite like an acacia tree in africa. I then decided to try it on a completely different background so when it snowed i created some mud and threw it into the snow to try to create the same shape.
