Tutorial on painting an Autumn/ Fall tree with a sponge and Winsor and Newton Watercolours.
by Veronica Aldous
Creating the tree: The branches and trunk have been masked out and left to dry using frisket
A dampened wrung out sponge is used to sponge onto damp paper- a sienna watercolour
Details with a brush picking out some branches and shadows . I'm using a Winsor and Newton Kolinsky brush.
Leave to dry
A green is mixed with the sienna and soft patches are damply applied
The dry painting has had the frisket removed
A wash of reddish pink and some dry brushed curves to the trunk to give dimension. Note that the wind is blowing it's branches and leaves.
Finished and deepened with browns and blues
Taken with flash to show the wet paint.I like wet paint!
