On Knowing Trees

12/6/2015

 
I recently started a painting of a magnolia tree.  Shortly after starting I found myself "stuck".  I wasn't sure how to accomplish what I saw in my mind for the tree.  The flowers I knew, but the tree that's another thing.  So for my sketches this week, I've been looking at trees. 

I hope to make some time this week to jump back into that painting.  The only real way to get where I want to go is to get the brushes out and start practicing.  Until then, I'll sketch and study.

This one I liked with less color. Once the color is on it can't be undone. This is as close as I could get.

Since trees are among my favorite things, I naturally love all of these studies. I'm sure your painting will be great. :)
