Lesson #119 - Blue Gum Trees in a Forest

[Val]

No birds hidden in this one are there? 

You caught me out, Val. Forgot the birds

I so enjoyed the Blue Gum Tree from the earlier w/c class. I still stand by my bird was big enough...but that was one really big tree!  Just had to check!

Excellent Danielle.

This was a fun class, too. Thank you Dennis. Do tell me your opinion to my piece. After reading the above conversation my hands itched to add some birds.  .

Well done, Gita  Birds galore 

[MaryAnne Long]

Nice work, Gita.

The birds look quite proud to be in the picture.

I would love to see a bluegum tree in person.

Beautifully painted Gita. 

[Gita]

thank you Dennis, Danielle, Val. Got some google support to look up for birds which prefer blue gum trees. 

[Steve Weatherwax]

Very nice, Gita! I love the way you handled the foreground. 

[njnjgirl]

Beautiful Gita!  Love the bird addition.

I have not painted in a while since we moved.  I thought a lesson would help me get back into it.  Thanks Dennis, I enjoyed this one.  Not sure how I did on this as I felt really "rusty" painting.  To me, it looks like a cartoon......comments and suggestions very welcome.

This looks very nice to me, Mary Lou.  You could experiment with this by doing it again with a different palette.

Lovely Paintings Danielle, Gita and Mary-Lou 
Its amazing how the same scene creates a feel of a different atmosphere from each ones painting.

 Love the addition of the Birds Gita

    A lovely try Mary Lou and I understand how you feel about being rusty ... I feel that way all the time  .  Anyway, it was a fun lesson and you did very well.

Thank you Dennis for another enjoyable lesson.  The line and wash was a lovely change but I could not see the wood for the trees  .  As always, I struggled.  Comments and critiques are happily received.  Thank you.
