Hello everyone! I'm still painting. I think I'm getting better, especially with the trees. I got a good tree out of this painting. I really like the pink one.
The other trees look like something I would use to decorate a Rift Dimension. I think I over did it on the cave. I had good intentions, but it's a big mess. I threw the campfire in there just to fill the space.
I did figure out to make those smooth lines for the trees, I need a very wet brush. I painted one today which turned out much better using the water. I will be practicing more with the trees before moving on to other objects.
Since I was just practicing painting trees, I used bright colors for the background. I started out with one little tree in the lower right corner. I figured out after I painted it, that I should have done the tree in the back first.
I painted the second trees' truck as best I could around the leaves of the first tree to make it look like it was in the background.
The third tree is really big. I try to paint thin trees, but I haven't been able to make them thin or small. I was hoping to do more trees in the background, but then I tried to make a cave.
I will have to watch some videos on how to paint rocks....
Finally I put an opening for a cave, and then added the campfire.
I have been painting a lot of landscapes of winter. I will continue this for a while, but I can't wait to start painting flowers!!! I just got my new fan brushes today, so I will see if having bigger brushes help.
The fan brush I have is really a "rake" since it doesn't have soft bristles. I think that is why I have been having trouble painting with it.
I hope you enjoy watching my paint along video.
Now it's Paint Time!!!
