Exercise 3; Study of several trees

I decided to use watercolour to make this piece. The photo makes it look very washed out and the colours are a lot richer in person.

I made the paint more watered down as the trees got further away to help with perspective.

Originally I had drawn all the trees in place and was going to paint the sky between the trees but I decided to rather paint the entire sky first then freely put in the trees on top.

When I put in the trees the paper was still damp from when I had painted in the sky and so the paint bled quite a bit. I should have done more tests beforehand.
