A video and the final result of a quick "distant tree" watercolor study.

"Wet-on-wet" process, so I had my color mixes ready and paid close attention to the dampness of the paper. I show this in the video.

1. Created a sky + ground wash, paper was damp.

2. The paint for the trees was the consistency of light cream. Getting this correct ratio is NOT always easy!

3. I created highlights by lifting out paint w/a clean brush.
