Painting Watercolour Trees - Painting Summer Trees (Part A)

[spongebobnik]

I've been practicing these trees and others. The Cedar of Lebanon is very hard.. I looked at a lot of photographs of this tree and the artist must be careful not to paint the foliage drooping, like a weeping tree. The branches reach out more flatly. Also, these are models, perfect shapes. So, photographs help the artist to see that no 2 trees look alike. The Cedar has lots of trunk and branches showing & is not equal on both sides. It's good to practice trees and look at models.

What I like about these lessons is that you learn so much, not just technique but color mixing and how much water, brush angle......If I do at least one thing right, I'm happy and encouraged to go on. Bob, you convince the student that they can do it if they want to learn. The painting has filled many hours at home. Thanks!

Thanks very much BOB. Your videos are by far the most useful ones for learning the ropes about watercolour. Thanks once again!
