Still working on trees. Tried balsam fir today.
This one is with the black ink on the paper first and then a watercolor wash over that. I like this one.
This one is with the paint first and then black ink on top. Even though the paint tone is different with more blue in this one, I think I like the first one better. Balsam are dark.
Still struggling with the spring aspen. This is try #5. This is watercolor first with a sponge. Probably too much water. This could be improved with some more paint, I think. But it's still got too much foliage for early spring. The scalloped outlines don't say spring, either. They suggest too much fullness.
This is acrylic paint with a sponge first, and then the black lines over that. Needs a little more pen work so the trunk doesn't just end when it hits the leaves but this is starting to approach the look I want.
I edited and did a few other things. A pretty low-key day.
