Tree Painting: Work in Progress
Cedar Lee July 27th, 2010
Just wanted to show you what’s on my easel today: the rudimentary beginnings of a 40″ x 30″ painting of tall trees. First I blocked in the colors in the sky, then began outlining the trunks and branches, then began adding in the greens of the foliage.
I have yet to finish the base layer of the foliage, fill in the colors of the tree trunks, then go over everything again, adding more and more detail to the branches, the foliage, the trunks, and the sky, (in no particular order), with progressively smaller brushes, until it feels finished.
Sorry for the poor lighting and glare! When it’s finished I’ll photograph it properly.
This is so cool! Looks like a finished, somewhat abstract painting!
