In this lesson we will make a study of four different trees, so you can have an example of what to look for and how to find patterns in their way of growing. We will also get into some brush techniques, that will help to paint the trees in an easy way. Everything you learn here, you can adapt on other trees too. Maybe next time you go for a walk, find yourself a species of trees, try to understand how they grow and sketch their pattern until your hand and mind remembers it. This is all about practice!
Welcome! How wonderful that you are here. We hope you are excited to dive into the worlds of colours, nature patterns and your own inner landscapes. This course will take you on a journey, where you will learn step by step to build and create an imaginary environment. We will go through two different paintings together, a more simple and a more complex one. You can either pick one of the paintings and follow along or use the tools and techniques to create your very own. Through this whole course you will always be able to choose between a more easy or a more difficult approach. If you have any questions or problems with the course don't hesitate and reach out - you can find the link to our community forum down below. But now, let's begin with the first lesson! We wish you lots of joy and creativity on this journey.
