Birch Trees

I'm really sorry to hear about your workshop Carol. I've just had another look at 'through the pines' and you're right about the tone but it's still got good depth and you have certainly captured the characteristic foliage and bark of the birch trees. I think the background and foreground trees are super!

Thank you Fiona for your welcome comments. What I had forgotten was the drying properties of watercolour and my foreground was meant to be a much stronger colour -hence I lost the tonal contrast. However I do feel that things are on the up at last -just need to find some more inspirations.

This is a good watercolour Carol and tone is the only suggestion I can come up with - just a few darks on the shaded sides of the trunks and in the foreground shadows but thats about it

Michael thank you for looking and for your comments. I have taken your comments on board for future reference.
