The messy blob on the bottom is an attempt at some madrona bark....couldn't figure out how to show the dimension so it just looks like squiggle lines. Will have to try that one again.
A year or so ago when I was watercoloring more regularly, I painted these....
Tried a new brush and new technique for this black silhouette one - did about 4 versions of it with varying success of the shadows and sunset behind...
Also experimenting with sky technique here....This is linked to Butterfly Effect for In the Woods; Draw, Sketch, Doodle for Trees, and Everyday Matters #15: trees as well as Sketchbook Challenge. I'll also link to Creative Every Day and Artists in Blogland.....Take a few minutes to visit a link or two at each of these great sites.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI need improving my trees drawings... I'm not very good at it...

ReplyDeleteYou're rather good at trees Terrie. Sketching is certainly a wonderful way to get your 'eye' in. You can never do too much.
ReplyDeleteHi Terrie! I found you through Artists in Blogland. The trees are gorgeous! I love trees and your paintings are wonderful. Look forward to following along on your blog.

These are wonderful Terrie! I was just studying trees yesterday because they're something I struggle with... Thanks for reaffirming that I need to practice them.
ReplyDeleteThey're wonderful! The black silhouette is my favorite. Reminds me of pix I took while driving through Louisiana on Hwy 90.
ReplyDeleteWow stunning! The black ones are my favorite, they are real magic and they reminds me at avatar, the film I love so much! Thank you for sharing :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your trees, especially the silhouette.

Oooow Terrie, love that you showed you sketchbook, but your watercolours are just stunning :D XXX
ReplyDeleteYou are very good at trees! I feel inspired to dig out my old watercolors!
ReplyDeleteLove how much art you fit into your life, I am working on bringing more inspiration from the world into mine. New follower!
All great explorations. Madrone bark I can smell it but couldn't draw it to save my life, you certainly captured the essence here. xox Corrine
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Terrie. I love your trees and the different styles. You should join us sometime over at Sunday Sketches. Your art is lovely and amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, these are all so beautiful, wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteTerrie, I love your trees! That have such a grace and elegance to them. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, took a peek at your profile, and I love that you're interested in so many creative things. Have you read Refuse to Choose by Barbara Sher? It's one of my favorite books, all about juggling multiple interests.
