Shadow Pond

Mata0031 18 Nov 2023

Whew. That was harder than I thought it was going to be. Good practice, though. I need to keep working on branch shapes. Bob always mentions not throwing them in at random and thinking about the shape, but I don’t really know how to make them look like his.

I wanted to give on this one several times, but I’m glad I made it to the end.

I think branch shape is one of the hardest things too. Nice work here.

Hello Lisa in SP! I’m a neighbor on the NW side of the cities (Maple Grove/Dayton). I like your painting. The green hue is cool and I love your little pond. Branches can be a bear. I like to keep the leaves to a minimum and step back a lot to see if they’re coming together right before I highlight.

Persistence pays Mata, well painted, cheers
