The Artist | How To Paint Trees in Watercolour
N.B. This issue is included with the September 2023 issue.
Trees, whether capturing their essence in loose studies or including them as part of a vast landscape, is always a popular subject with the artist. They are not the easiest subject to
sketch and paint however, and within the following pages we hope you find practical help and inspiration to develop your skills and build confidence.
Paul Weaver begins with a look at the methods he uses for including trees in his landscapes, how he simplifies the essentials and captures structure and colour through the seasons, before
demonstrating a four-step process. Julie Collins follows with loose and lively renditions in watercolour and ink (to prove trees are the perfect subject for this mix-media approach), while Caroline Ward-Raatikainen discusses the materials, techniques and approach she uses to paint vast forests of silver birch, pine and fir in Finland.
