Lesson Seven Outdoors
I used a colored pencil for a measured setup for the Christmas Tree and then used those two lines as a guide to the background. I wanted to add enough background to show that the tree is about 1 1/2 stories tall. I didn't intend to enhance the tree but I did. It is quite an odd shape in real life, wider than I've shown and then spindly on top.
I have often thought that the city Christmas tree is "lame", not very special, almost an embarrassment. But as I sat there drawing it, I realized it is as unpretentious as its surroundings. An elegant, opulent tree would look out of place in this gritty city.
