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!
Congratulations! We hope you are happy with what you have created. You are now well equipped and ready to continue your journey in painting your own imaginary landscapes. Just practice and continue what you have learned here and you will notice that with time your paintings become more and more complex and refined. Landscape painting is a world, where there is so much to discover. So, there will also be other courses in the future, where we will dive deeper into all these different areas. It will be about snowscapes, nighttime, sunsets, forest and mountain worlds and so on. So we hope you would like to progress on this journey with us in the future and until then feel very welcome to join us in the forum. Share about your experience, show us what you have painted and connect with like minded people. We’re looking forward to see you there and say thank you.
