Trees in a field.

I've been going on about my clumsy brushwork....my limitations with this media.So today I decided I'd put to use the quality that exists through my Hyperpointillist work...namely: 'Patience' and attention to detail.For today's painting I chose to depict two trees in a sparse field. using photographic reference and imagination, I produced this example.It's taken me most of the day to complete as opposed to the one and a half hours the first in this series took. I decided that even if it takes two days, I'll try to achieve something satisfying.

The result is I hope you agree, a progression over the previous pieces and indicates the level of detail and texture I'm aiming at.I draw the basic forms of the landscape and trees, then apply water colour.When dry, I pick out details with a Rotring 0.5 pencil. I'm now feeling much happier with this medium and have started looking to larger works.
