One of the biggest challenges with landscape painting is mixing the right color green. The shade of green you choose for your trees has a huge impact on the way they appear in your painting. It’s important to find the right balance between a vibrant green and a dull green-gray.
When painting a tree, the trunk is usually a darker color than the branches. This is because the trunk will often have gnarled roots and knotholes that light doesn’t easily reach. Trunks may also have a wide base, or the bark might be textured and have a few cracks. You can adjust these details later when you add the leaves or branches.
Remember to take the time to study your subject, especially in relation to light and shadow patterns. The brightness of the sun, the setting or rising sun, dappled light from clouds or rain can affect the colors of leaves and the shadow shapes they make on the ground and other objects. For example, the dappled sunlight through the branches of a maple may deepen the red of its leaves. tree canvas painting
