Description
It's rare to do a lighting experiment I'm actually happy with, lighting is something I really appreciate in art but have a hard time rendering myself.
4" x 6" on Canson paper, I haven't used it before so this was a bit of a test. It's not meant for watercolor, but some of my favorite papers aren't, I like the textures I can get get with some of them. Didn't take well to layering, so I did more dry brushing and paint lifting than usual, which was fun and worked well for the bark especially.
100% watercolor, I usually use a bit of gel pen, pencil, ink, pen, etc, but I wanted to see if I could go without, turned out pretty nice.

Amazing work! I feel the same way about light but also have a hard time capturing it. You did a great job with the lighting on this. The texture on the trees is great, the dry brushing on them really turned out nicely.
