Mix up some dark greenish paint.  Take up a number 6 or 8 liner (rigger) and load it with fairly thick paint (not too much water).

The four key ingredients for painting a good looking fir tree are.............

1)   -   Start at the very top of the tree, make a short vertical thin brush stroke downward.  This will be the very start of the trunk although not very much will be visible in the finished painting.

2)   -    Place the brush on the lline then flick the brush outward and upward.  Just like you were brushing crumbs with the back of your hand.

3)    -    Repeat this procedure in a vertical manner all the way down the trunk of the tree.  Leaving some gaps showing the vertical trunk.

4)    -    If you mess-up, place another one close by join the two.

Here's the real secret of painting these fir trees.  The brush must be damp with the paint not wet and when you flick it you will get a lot of texture.  You can see by adding more water you can get distance into some far trees.

I am a beginner at watercolour even though I am not so young. I am presently taking a course which I enjoy tremendously.
Your e-mails confirm and add to the information I am receiving from my teacher and serves also as a reminder. I have also visited the back issues (I am not finished yet with the reading) which I find very useful.

As you can see here, every Tuesday I check my e-mail often and just can't wait to get the report. I like the way you put it simple and clear, especially with demos. I understand they are years of experience.
Also, you are so kind to provide a chance to show our own work on your website, it is so exciting to see it on the web and even more to read comments from viewers. I got a bit addicted to it.
All these have been very supportive for me to continue the passion on top of my hectic daily life I'm learning, improving, and happily dreaming to be an artist some day.
