This week is the PERFECT time to study aspen trees! It's cooler and the trees along Sandia are already painting the top with licks of gold. I’ll show you some of my tips on how to capture the
gorgeous colors of aspen trees turned to gold.
Well start with a review of the basics of tree anatomy so that you can draw the trunk, branches and balloons of foliage more accurately. I'll also show you a bit about how to approach light colored bark in and out of shadows, and talk about ways you can handle the background trees or mountains. I want to take some time to discuss tree holes and the sky behind the foliage, too.
Bring your own photos or borrow one
of mine. I have a wealth of photos that a friend took recently and I'm more than happy to share them with you. I can't afford to print a zillion copies, but if you'll let me know I'll send a couple of files to you ahead of time and you can print your own.
Any medium is welcome, as long as there are no strong smelling solvents. Bring a drop cloth for the table and floor, please.
The
studio opens about 11:00, and class is from 11:30-2:30. Feel free to
bring your lunch. Remember, we're at the new
location at CCF.
See you Thursday!
