DESIGN EXERCISE

Here is my Pemphis I am going to style. It's originally growing on rock, don't try to bend the trunk and the the main branch because it's very brittle and will break easily.

Would be fun to see your idea before I post my idea...

Hi Robert
I tried a few simple virtual.

Thanks Pavel, let's see how the others say...

Emphasizing the rock by exposing more of it and telling a transformation story.

just kidding hjhj
I was impressive of Rob's way and like the second way of Pavel

2nd go!

when you really assess the material tree it has a thin poorly curved trunk (like a parallel bow with no taper) sat on a fat base, and we are told it cant be bent, so for me you cut off what is poor or unworkable and work with the best part - a powerfull strong based shohin ,it makes good use of the nice base,especially as the larger trees show a very poor step from the short fat base to the long thin trunk.



best wishes

Marcus

Well done. For the selected idea will be rewarded the same pot as :

woo!
very smart

it is a pleasure to play free aswell...
but ..let me know....how many squetches can we make?
it is like the lottery....the more you play ...the more you are the possible winner

it is a joke of course
this tree is not so easy
as marcus said...the trunk line is a bit hard
i find pavels projects nice...but i can t wait to see your solution

Send as many as you wish Sebastian...

i don t know these spiecies
maybe can you try a shari to correct the trunk a little?

Hi Robert
I look forward to your work result.
Gretings Pavel

The proposal to grown, branches at the base of the trunk. For you tree grows very quickly.

this tree is very hard
my idea

Hi robert and all.

Pavel, still none close to my idea...

Ok then, since you like broken pots, how about taking it a bit further, a broken bucket with a simple hanging branch design adding a few tons of rock. Enough foliage mass to counter the now heavy rocks.

Yes Rob. extreme man. extreme. hahaha

Haha..why not using some scretch pieces from your rocket.....

Since I really want to send out my New Year Gift, so I will give you some clue...
Neither the trunk nor the branches would be bent, just use the existing branches to refine the ramification to form the foliation..and simply use either one of the angles I posted....
