For this exercise I have to find a natural object with texture. I have to select a "non expressive" tool and using a continuous line try to capture the texture. I found a piece of branch from a salix contorta in the garden and parts of it were covered beautiful lichen.
I gave careful thought to how to show the differing textures. I used irregular wandering lines for the lichen and rounded, lines for the bare branch. I've made it round to try to get some shape.

I found this very difficult and had several tries. Once again I was unsure whether or not to lightly draw an outline to work within but when I did it was so obvious I hated it. This one was done freely and is the best of the three I did.
