Part I here
Part III here
Quick recap : This is a progression of a nursery stock that I am using in a current online competition.
The target is to start with a raw evergreen material.
In part I, I just made a basic re-potting.
Since then there has been two growth cycles.
First Growth Cycle
Another sketch I made and more or less what I'm aiming for.
The tree has pulled some new growth.
Quick progression
Detailed progression of the wiring
Wiring the main trunk.
Wiring side branch that was going in the wrong direction.
When I repotted initially there was this branch that was going in the opposite direction.
Time to set it right.
Removed several branches that were nearly parallel or not necessary for the end design.
Several more wiring later...
Second Growth Cycle
One of the main focus of this design is the exposed roots.
Initially they were completely white, but since they have been exposed to the elements [ sun, wind, water/rain ] they have been ageing nicely from my point of view.
Before:
Right now:
Following the second flush of growth, I also had to do some cleaning up.
The new growth was all over the place... even on the roots and lots of bespoke wheel branches growth.
That's it for now.
Sorry about bad quality of the last pictures :(
