Multicolored Forest

8x6 mixed media using acrylic inks and oil pastels on Masters Touch 140 lb wc paper done over the past weekend, experimenting with colors and different media together. In this imaginary tree landscape I've scattered vibrant and bold color throughout using an old credit card. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Tree Magic

5.25x7.75 alcohol inks on Yupo synthetic paper done last week or so, an experiment using the inks on Yupo with adding and subtracting colors until the tree image appeared. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

An Aspen Alley

4.5x3.5 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper done about a week and a half ago, an imaginary autumn aspen tree scene. I remember being too scared to paint trees so would avoid them but after studying their characteristics and sketching them in various stages of growth, they have become easier.

Three Poplar Trees

7.75x4.25 acrylics on wc 140 lb paper done this past weekend using some of my tree ref photos from New Mexico. No pencil sketch was done first, just brush only using leftover acrylics. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

ASPEN LANE

6x9 watercolor on Yupo synthetic paper done last week or so, an imaginary scene of aspen trees and shadows. No pencil used for this one. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

Evergreen Elegance

6x4 watercolor and gouache on Langton Prestige 140 lb cold press paper, another tree scene I've had drawn for awhile but not decided to paint until yesterday using some pink and salmon and turquoise.
