How to Paint TREE TRUNKS and FOLIAGE - Tips For Painting Trees, Vegetation and Water

In this video I will show you how to paint tree trunks, vegetation and water. I also give you tips of painting landscapes in general including colour mixing and painting tonality.

This painting is inspired by the Bay of Islands area of New Zealand and originally started as a plein air painting, then I added more detail to it in the studio.

The first half of this video is of me painting this art work outdoors en plein air. In the second half of this video I am back in my studio where I add details to my painting.

I painted this art work in oils. The colours I used in this painting are listed below:

Titanium white
Burnt sienna
Yellow oxide (you can also use yellow ochre instead)
Cadmium yellow
Cadmium orange
Quinacridone magenta
Ultramarine blue
Cobalt teal
Phthalo green

I really enjoy watching your tutorials, there’s a lot of joy in them. No plodding along, leaf by leaf, instead, a speedy rendering that’s truly refreshing!

We traveled to NA in 2001. 3 weeks of beauty and grace. Please talk about the geography and flora more. I love that!

[martimajor]

Also, as a painter I was always stunned by the water color. Oceans, lakes and rivers always had a luminous turquoise gleam. You have it so nailed down!
