The painting of Birch trees is an activity I enjoy from time to time. Their light bark in contrast with the dark limbs and blemishes is fun to recreate. It is a delightful challenge to determine the range of colors which can help develop the illusion of Birch trees. In this particular painting, I used Ultramarine Blue to develop the shadows and darker elements of the trees. Yellow grass and leaves combine well with the blue to create a wonderful, summery green.

I love your paintings - the colors just stimulate the imagination, plus I have always been fascinated by paintings of birch trees.
Hi Nancy,
You've depicted a convincing depth of field and the well balanced choice of chroma and values contributes to a unified and fluid work.
I quite like this work.
Have a great weekend,
José
