Bay View Demonstration - Trees and Flowers
This journal page spread is a couple of demonstrations done in my Watercolor Sketchbook Journal class last week - birch trees and bright flowers against a dark background. I get a little colorful with my birch trees - gray is just not all that fun. I use the colors I would use to get gray and let them mix (a little) on the paper.
A couple of frustrating things right now - my merchant VISA won't deposit!!! and my computer won't let me access any weather reports!!! Where does this weird stuff come from?!
And Blogger won't let me use the font I want.

I see birches as multicolored, too! Love it!
I agree with Gwendolyn, perfect shadows on trees...
Someday we'll discover what it is in the atmosphere that turns machines temperamental.

Oh!...it's been so hot here!...and something about the shade that one knows is under the tree looks so inviting. You have captured a bit of "coolness and beauty" on your tree!...and underneath your tree. One can bask in the beauty of it and the flowers!
And those machine-flaws, they come no matter what! ^o^ Me again...BJR
the clouds were wonderful. I was taking pictures all day. Sorry for your troubles. Especially the font thing. That is tough. karen
How many times have I tried to paint Birch Trees ala Catherine???
To me, it's harder than it looks. Well, there's Aug. 2010 and we'll try some more! Yours always look so real!
Thanks, everyone for your comments. My merchant VISA did deposit - at 5 a.m. My husband is still trying to get the bugs out of my laptop so I can get the weather forecast, and Blogger is letting me do anything I want now. Life is good.
I do a birch tree demo about once a day in the summer :) I will still be doing them in Aug. Marj.
