Color Study of Treeoil on gessoed paper 3x5.5
I found this little tree while walking the dog near a man-made pond. The area is not much to look at but I wanted to see if I could make something interesting out of this scene while working on my greens.
I have scraps of watercolor paper from years past that I gessoed for these little studies. I used the same palette as the last one.

Two hard subjects...trees and greens. These last two are such great studies...lessons I know I should practice.
ReplyDeleteYou succeeded. The greens are great and it looks like a nice scene.
ReplyDeleteNice color study. Wonderful variety in your greens.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on your greens!
ReplyDeleteI also really like the previous post with the farm field.
That is great.. the experiment with scale and composition. very sucessful!
ReplyDeleteI love your trees and this one is no exception. Sweet piece !
ReplyDeleteThese tree studies you are working on are really great! Your brushwork is really nice, and the colors too. I think I know the sheep farmer you are talking about in the previous painting, I'm glad they still have their sheep farm in the middle of all those McMansions!
ReplyDeleteGreens can be so difficult, but you have them mastered! This is a lovely study, absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely tree... I was just beginning to drool over it when I saw that it was sold....
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've done well on learning those greens!
Gorgeous, little painting. Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteYou have taken a most ordinary subject, a young, straight, nursery-product tree (maple perhaps?)and made it into a beautiful little painting filled with light and movement.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
There's great light and color in this tree. I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying your blog and just fell in love with this lovely little tree. The wind is rushing through the leaves.
