Feeling the need for more tree study, I set my sight on this old pin oak looming large on the lawn. I tried something different on this small ATC sized study. Instead of looking at my paper as I drew, I did not take my eyes from the tree, moving the pen where I could see the branches extending. The result was a much truer reflection of the tree! The process helped my bypass my brain's idea of a tree, instead just letting the pen jut out from the trunk. I am certainly going to do this again! Perhaps I just uncovered a secret for tree painting! Lol! Painting number 2580 in 2580 days.
That is so interesting! I have trouble painting trees, and I’ll have to try your newfound method. It definitely seems to work for you. Btw, I enjoy the way you post your finished art next to the actual subject.
