This book begins with a description of the materials vital to successful watercolour tree painting. The main part is an illustrated directory of twenty five trees, from Acer to Zelkova. Step-by-step sequences show how to paint each one in a fresh, lively style with all the essential details of shape and form beautifully captured. The author explores the overall shapes and masses of branches and leaves, outlines in full foliage, winter trees, branch and twig details, and presents stunning leaf and flower portraits shimmering with life.
A source of inspiration, as well as a manual of techniques, this book is a must-have for every tree painter.
