My next class on February 22.............

.............we'll try trees, with studies for both summer and winter.  We all think we know what trees look like, but it's good to take a closer look at the real thing, as well as photo references.  A deciduous forest will come to life through a "negative" exercise, like these studies I've just been working on:

    
                                                                 
       














And here's a little study of evergreens.



I hope the participants get some good insights into painting trees with watercolour!  Looking at tree shapes all around me, especially in winter when they are beautiful skeleton shapes, has become a regular and inspiring habit of mine.......
