A landscape painter should be fairly well versed in how to paint trees.
Learn how to overlap simple washes to create a feeling of depth in background foliage masses.
Silhouette nearer trees.
Highlight foreground trees with color, size and texture.
Study other landscape painters you admire to see how they render trees.
My annual Maine workshop is over. We had a great day yesterday at Knickercane Island painting....what else? Trees!
