Painting Trees with Confidence — SOLD OUT

Trees can be one of the trickiest and most daunting elements to portray in a landscape, yet they are also some of the most essential. Whether they serve as the main focus or play a supporting role, trees bring character, depth and life to your scenes.
This workshop will guide you in approaching trees with confidence. We'll begin by simplifying their shapes and contours through basic outlines, making them more approachable to paint. You'll work on small, quick studies of tree forms using provided reference photographs and we'll discuss techniques to effectively depict their various features.
The workshop will help you focus on simplifying tree structures, capturing the unique "gesture" of each tree to convey its essence, and using atmospheric perspective to create depth and realism in your landscapes.
