Spring Tree after the above, by Sandra Ketchum
Here at Cedar Lane Studio I have done any number of tree-themed paintings with students. The soft emerging tones of the forest are so inspiring, gentle and soothing.

Both projects at left used glazing. The top left image also uses spackle for the bottom texture. In the bottom right painting we used drips to create tree trunks, then glazed in the background.

Below I used a palette knife to create the soft greens so prevalent in the spring woods (a little slice of our woods below the painting.

SO, spring trees will be our inspiration this week at Cedar Lane Studio. I look forward to seeing some super work - we always surprise ourselves!
