Come join the fun in Burlington, VT at UVM OLLI, Saturday, Mar. 16th. I will teach two classes-take both! In the morning we will Paint Trees with Beautiful Brushstrokes and in the afternoon we will Paint Dark Rich Colors.
This Ponderosa Pine stood in Yosemite. I saw it from the car and "memorized" its shape, color, and value changes. When I had time to paint it, I used the best brushstrokes to shape and add color to a tree on paper. Then I quit and let the painting rest. It was only later that I realized I was finished. Be sure to look at each painting as a finished painting, not an endless project!
