In order to achieve a higher level of any endeavor, sometimes one needs to revisit the basics, further honing the skills, the so-called fundamentals. So that's what I did yesteday, acting as a human copying machine at the same time. I copied the strokes, first, then repeated the strokes until I can freely reproduce the strokes from memory. Then the next step of combining the different strokes to compose a drawing becomes a creative effort in itself. The more strokes one has in his/her repertiore, the more range one would have in galloping across the field of imagination.
Leaves, branches, trunks, and various combinations thereof.
Rocks, outcrops that make up the rolling hillscape.
Cascades, surfs, hugging the rocky terrain.
Shrubs, flowers, attracting the denizens of the insect world.

Beautifully drawn, it has a classic and ageless taste to it.
