No More Generic Trees!

Do all your trees look the same, even when they are from different species?This video will point you to the characteristics of trees which if you concentrate on with your lines, will create trees which all reflect their particular species,

I've been painting trees for years but your videos on trees are priceless. They have reminded me that there is always room to grow. Thanks Stephen 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Gonna give this a try. Your trees look nice and you can definitely see they are very different trees.

I've been an artist since I've been old enough to scribble and have worked as a freelance artist for some time now. I'm glad you've made these teaching videos, as i'm learning a lot of stuff I either have forgotten or I've not learned! THANK YOU!

great information, thank you for helping me see trees better! excited to use the learnings

you mentioned faces in the first tree, to me as i was looking at the dark areas of the first tree I noticed the "eyes" about half way down on the left and then the mouth, when I pulled my view back the tree became the Harry Potter Sorting Hat 😂

Thank you for all your videos, as an older, just starting, self-taught art student, mentors/teachers like you who make these videos are so appreciated! .

I am currently learning how to paint with watercolours. I am liking line drawing and painting. Your drawing lessons are so helpful. My drawing skills are not as accurate as they need to be.
Your tutorials and observation skills are exactly what I need to improve.
My sister in Canada is wanting to do sketching so I am forwarding a couple of your tutorials to her. Ones I think she would appreciate and try herself.
Thank you for sharing. ✨🎨

Thank you ... trees are hard! I noted that you get the shape and proportion of the tree layed out before you get the trunk and limbs put in. I thoroughly enjoy your videos.

Why you start form middle when drawing the first tree, but start from the contour at the second tree?

I like your concept of “The Leaf Attachment Structure” and found it useful. I am starting to feel more comfortable drawing trees with the help of your videos, thank you! 🎉. P.S. I didn’t find any lurking, smirking or smiling faces in my drawing when I finished! 🥸.
