WCW273 Old Trees

Photo Details

Poster: JBgreendawn

This week Suz is sharing a tutorial on creating old looking trees with brush strokes. I did think as I was doing the first tree before the "leaves" went on that this style would work well for fall and Halloween as bare branch twisty trees.. but, I ran out of time before I tried it. I have some process shots here on the blog. Thanks for this challenge Suz, & tfl.

Your branches are great and I love the flow of the greens and grays on your banks.

Your tree trunks look great and I like all those wonderful leaves you painted. The banks have that bit of green like in the tutorial, too. Good painting, Stacy.

Yes bare trees with a spooky sky would be great for Halloween. You have some great twisty branches

You did great on the trees - I should have bent mine more. Love the way you did the leaves. Pretty, Stacy. Hugz
