Study of Several Trees
This is pretty easy to do year as trees are in abundance and are very varied.
First did a rough charcoal sketch and then moved and did a colored pencil drawing which I started in situ and finished from a reference photo at home (due to the weather).
On reflection I seem to have reverted to my previous careful drawing. Perhaps it had something to do with drawing from a photo reference . But critically I feel it is too polished, I do feel that the sense of light is strong and I achieved depth and distance. The strong blues and purple give a sense of cool and shadow and make a good contrast for the feeling of light.
I worked over it with water:
This, is better, mainly because some of the tightness is gone. I roughened up the texture of the thin tree in front with scratchy brushstrokes to distinguish it from the other smoother ones.
