ART VLOG - A tree with meaning - Fineliner & watercolour tree art (dealing with loss & a tribute)

This video is a little bit different from my usual ones, because it deals with emotions and loss. Last year I've had to say goodbye to my last surviving parent (my mum), and some emotional issues have come up, naturally. However, it is not meant as a depressing vlog at all(!), but more like a tribute and just dealing with the realism of a new normal. I hope you will join me on this small personal and emotional art journey, especially if perhaps you are going through a similar phase in life? If so, maybe we can be of some small comfort to each other… But if you don't feel like any of 'this', of course give the vlog a miss, and perhaps I'll see you in the next one.
Practical information:

- The fineliner is a Sakura Pigma Micron PN fineliner, black.

We just got home from Amsterdam. I never got to see the beautiful countryside the you show in your video. I wish I could have met you and see your beautiful work in person.

Ah, that is a pity. However, most tourists/visitors don’t end up in the Amsterdam Forest, as it is quite a bit out of the way from the center. I just happen to live in the right part of town, to be able call it reasonably close. I hope you still had a good time though! And thank you for commenting, as well. ☺
