Trees by Bridge

I'm starting to understand something new about trees as forms. "that the parts closer overlap the rest".

It also helps to know which branches support which foliage.
I found myself walking backwards from the trunk a lot.

The sides were fairly easy, the middle is more complex because it needs to be foreshortened.

Up River Sketch

Started something new when drawing this. I tried picking a line that will describe a 'surface plane change' of the object.
I plan to keep working that idea, but draw the plane change line before drawing the edge. Let the less obvious influence the more noticeable.and see what happens.

13"x 19" pastel from the same view as before.I kind of neglected indicating the plane changes of objects when I switched to using color.
