Wood for the Trees by Seok Yam Chew

A beautiful gallery. You are a very talented painter. Thanks for looking at my gallery.

I have just browsed your gallery and I love the way you have combined techniques. Especially in producing believable trees due to your clever use of colour combination. Do you negatve paint or use a lot of masking fluid for the different tones of green. Thanks for your varias comments on my gallery

Thank you very much, Chris. I did not use masking fluid for this painting, but I do for some others, like the moss in the orchid painting, I am still struggling with negative painting, but persevere with it because I recognize it is something I need to master.

Food for the soul. I am on avid lover of Chinese painting, this fills me with joy. Just love your gentle feminine style. I think I was a Chinese lady in a former life. You are a free spirit!

Oooooh, this is a beauty, Seok. I love it! I could live with this painting. Lovely distant trees giving it perspective and atmosphere. Those leaves in the foreground are perfect too.

Thanks very much, Jill and Jennifer!

I missed this at the time, but it's right up my jungle path.... lovely desaturated colours, making a serene painting.

Thanks very much, Robert!

Super handling of greens and watercolour techniques!

A lovely painting so beautifully done it makes me wonder where this path is leading.

Thankyou very much, Teresa and Lesley!

A beautiful painting, I like it.

Thank you very much, Shooqi!
