Inspired, we set about having an art lesson (over 3 days) with tree techniques, paint washes, blending and drawing with various pens.
W (landscape minimalist) interpreted the image with typical focus on a single tree and had to be encouraged to add any further detail. A house was born of imagination.
K (still life perfectionist) got stressed that there were too many trees to recreate so needed encouragement that we were using the image as inspiration not to produce an exact copy.
Both boys were really proud of their work.
