Watercolor Painting, My Way!:Painting Trees: L4/4

Author: Rod Webb, Associate Editor

Build up the texture on the bank by adding touches of darker colour.

Add a darker mix to trunks and the odd branch. With a diluted mix of ulramarine and umber, paint in the water.

Then using our green mix and our umber, drop some reflections into the water wet into wet giving soft edges. A simple scene with trees on the lakeside bank!
