Tree study 1

One of the first illustrations I have planned for the Paradise Lost Series is . . . ". .we must change that mournful gloom, for this celestial light. ."
For my depiction I am including a tree so this was some outdoor tree drawing playtime by the Town Hall Park in my town. . .

LePen Playtime

I went to Utrecht and bought all the LePen colors they had.
I'm trying to play around so i get the exact feel I want.
In Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained; there are a lot of great descriptive moments and I thought it would be fun to illustrate them. So I am working on a (hopefully) long series of illustrations; all in LePen, in layer upon layer to create my depictions of Milton's events.

But for now I was playing around with the colors Creating my own cover for Mervyn Peakes' The Gormenghast Novels. . .
