tunnels making a spooky effect• How did he make that spooky effect?• By using wax crayons and watercolor paint• “I hit upon this technique by accident, sometime
before the war when doing a drawing to amuse a young niece of mine. I used some of the cheap wax crayons in combination with a wash of water-color, and found, of course, that the water-color did not ‘take’ on the wax, but only on the background.”

Henry Moore:
My sculpture• When I started moving the wires around, I really
saw a sort of tree coming out. I decided to make the bottom of the sculpture pretty thin and then slowly going thicker, like a tree.
• Then, when I painted it, I didn’t make the bottom brown and the top green, I decided to make it a bit different and make it all green with the base brown.
• Then, it looked too simple so I outlined the wires with black, so it might look like some branches or like banyan trees, roots.
Result• Finally, when I had to put it into Photoshop, I
decided to put it in an environment that had many trees and, well, I found this really cool picture and this is how it looks like:
