The Tree
To paint a tree is to enter into the story of patience.
Like us, it gradually emerged from a seed. A seed that contains a memory. A discreet and invisible memory. Like us, it will awaken to the great succession of days and nights.
To paint a tree is to capture its slightest variations, its sudden changes of direction, sometimes in its growth spurt, sometimes in the emergence of its intertwining branches.
The richness and variety of its species are immense. We will need to be observant to grasp the form, the silhouette, the mass of its trunk, down to the extreme delicacy of its branches and foliage. "The tree is a person," my professor in China used to say. Let us learn to capture not only its particular forms, but also its intimate character, imbued with all its life force.
The video pack The Tree contains:
Tree 1
In this first step, we learn about the structure of trees. We will explore the trunks in their various shapes and structures to convey an impression of power and upward reach towards the sky. You will discover a sequence for applying different brushstrokes to depict the growth of the trunks and the texture of their bark. Then you will practice painting different types of trees, some with branches reaching towards the sky and others where the outermost branches curve towards the ground.
Tree 2
This video focuses on inking. The way you apply the ink to your brush determines how you create the interior texture of a tree trunk. You'll learn about the five main types of strokes that make up the interior of a tree trunk. We'll also show you how to draw different types of trees.
Tree 3
In this third video, we explore a wider variety of tree silhouettes and their corresponding foliage. The technique will become easier and more skillful in bringing them to life. Finally, we tackle the famous thorny trees that populate the mountains, learning several techniques to create a realistic sense of depth in the clusters of pine and fir needles. We conclude with a demonstration of a dynamic technique for creating a group of trees on three planes.
