This painting is from a photo of a small cave my friends and I saw while hiking/ For the most part it's wet on dry. The tree limbs are wet on wet which gives it a sort of fuzzy quality. It could have been more successful if I used more pigment but I really like how the leaves and the tree bark turned out.
This is by far the most successful of my landscapes thus far. I actually was looking for some techniques in watercolor and stubled ona tutorial which I tried to emulate... not exactly though. I started by layering on the light green and black for the ground. The tree techniques was just blotting with pigment on paper towels.
I started this painting in class, and with a little help I finally figured out how to make pine trees... they still need a little work but I think it turned out alright for a first timer... the clouds are pretty much my favorite part.
