Winter is Here

These birch are an experiment. Like Turner and Leonardo Da Vinci, well sorta like that. I wanted to do a watercolor with pen and ink to change up the look of the painting.

To me these trees say winter not necessarily Holiday Season. As a boy my Dad took me into the woods where he worked and I would see the Birch trees and snow. This is a memory of winter for me.

I used only a few colors Payne's Gray and Ultramarine Blue. Also a touch of Yellow Ocher.

The pens are the new style with a calligraphy nib. This adds a different dimension to the painting. That's is what we need to do add a different bit of depth in your work.

Well kids bundle up today more snow coming.
