Painting Woodlands | Easy Way to Paint Trees in Watercolour | Dry Brushing Leaves

Here I've turned the paper around and I'm painting in the portrait format. This works much better for capturing the tall trees of the forest. I've used a combination of large hake brush and rigger to paint this watercolour impression of woodlands. Our little man and his dog are wondering off exploring the natural world. Give it a go and see how you get on. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve with a little practise!
