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!
This is probably the most fun and most challenging part of the process. In this stage we will start to build our landscape and plant what we have practiced. We will get into a few rules that are important to follow when it comes to perspective, size and patterns and how to apply some of the easier techniques that we have learned earlier. But other than that - you can get creative! Which plants do you want to plant? And where do you want to have them? Let your landscape come alive.
In this session we are going to dive deeper into how to build an environment, how trees are actually in relationship with each other and how to create depth and perspective. We will use a bit more difficult techniques by painting finer lines and more complex trees. But also here - it is time to get creative and create our landscape!
