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!
Stones really are an own world to be discovered, with all their different shapes, colours and structures. In this course we will keep it very simple though. When you leave all the different colours and structures aside and just focus on the light and shadows, it's possible to paint a stone with one single brushstroke. This is a very easy technique that can also be applied to paint bigger mountain ranges or boulders. You create a basic shape, where you then can go in with the liner and add more details. Practice the brush stroke until it comes naturally for you and just play around a bit with different shadows and shapes!
