Painting Watercolour Trees The Easy Way

This is a book for all landscape artists whatever their skill levels, and anyone who wants to learn more about painting trees whether they are magnificent in their winter habitat, gloriously bedecked in spring foliage, splendid in their summer raiment or stunning when their leaves turn to russet reds and spun golds. Master artist Terry Harrison returns with an new edition of this award-winning title, designed to help you capture the majesty of nature without getting lost in the details. If you’ve ever struggled to make trees look realistic, this guide is your solution. Terry’s signature 'easy way' approach moves away from leaf-by-leaf drawing, teaching you instead how to paint a stunning impression of trees that breathes life into your landscapes. Learn to paint convincing foliage by mastering shapes, perspective, and the interplay of light and shade rather than individual leaves. From the spun gold of autumn and the skeletal beauty of winter habitats to the glorious raiment of spring and summer, learn to adapt your palette for every time of year. Follow along with clear, detailed projects that take you from a blank page to a finished, professional-looking landscape. Discover how to use specialty brushes and simple techniques to paint textures like bark, distance, and dense forests quickly and effectively. Whether you are picking up a brush for the first time or are an experienced landscape artist, Terry’s no-nonsense advice will elevate your work.
