It is Springtime and my chestnut tree has lots of buds that are opening now. Some will be only leaves, many will also be flowers. Of course I wanted to paint that once again.
For this work I made several reference pictures and I started with the tree bark in watercolour. Not too much colour because that is how my tree looks in bright sunlight.
After that had dried I added a branch with a flower bud and some new leaves at the end and painted that as well with watercolour.
After that I started with my pencils, adding details and depth by layering the colours on my paper.
One branch was not enough, so I added three more, only using my pencils, looking for a good composition.
Of course this work is not 'perfect' but with this I am continuing my series with tree bark and leaves or fruits of the trees that inspire me.
The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this work and my contact information can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
