Bushfire Revival
The Story Behind the Sketch
This photograph is from the same trip to the forest two weeks after the February 2023 bush fires.
I was originally going to sketch this in charcoal from the same burnt tree I was photographing but totally forgot as I have a memory like a goldfish. So in the end I had to sketch in pen which is good because I really don’t like mess anyway.
