Painting Trees

Painting Trees - student project

Hi Sharone,

Thank you for this amazing class. I remember one of my primary school art teacher taught us to paint tree by dabbing technique. But that was really like 20 years ago. Which after that I had never painted a tree after my highschool. Thank you so much for teaching few techniques to paint realistic look trees. You make the process easy and actionable :)

 

Here are bits of my process.

Start with sketching shape. Learn where the sun will be and shadows.

Then colour values, and colours mixing. I used Sap Green, Lemon Yellow Deep, Payne Gray and Burnt Sienna as that are what I got in my palette. I am really bad with colour mixing and still too lazy to make colours chart for myself.
