A nice nice video that offers tips on how to paint trees with watercolours.

Oh, I like this artist’s technique too! I’ll have to check out more of his work later, he seems to be very good.
I’ve started painting again after a break for 25 years!
Well, if I think about it I have never really learned to paint, and therefore have never actually really painted. I am older now and hopefully a little wiser, I can see that I have shyed away from painting because it was too difficult and that one actually has to make an effort to learn the skill, much like learning to play a musical instrument. It wasn’t within me, I did not have the desire, but now I do and I want to learn the art.
So, at the moment I am using water colours and I have used acrylics last weekend, both demand different skills and I am enjoying the challenge of learning to express myself in these mediums. I find Alvaro Castagnet’s confident style appealing, I like his fearless, cocky approach to painting in water colours.
I possess one of these Korg Kaossilators, great fun while travelling. Adrian here on the YouTube clip is seriously talented and the clip a pleasure to watch knowing that it is not as easy as it looks!
Duffy Sheridan has a YouTube channel where he shows us how to paint a portrait, he seems to be very talented so I’ll be visiting this a lot over the next couple of weeks.
