I returned to the same tree (as seen in the previous post) the next day, but give it a completely different treatment still combining the schematic nature of my sketches with the more interesting coloring that a proper painting allows. For this one, I started with the outline, then brought in water and other colors to blur the line and bring in many more colors. This particular paper (Fabriano Artistico) grabs the colors a bit more than I wanted. I really have to do a few more like this, but I'll use another paper brand that I was basing my expectations on (Daler-Rowney Langton Prestige).
