Long-dead tree in bright morning sun (oil on masonite)
On the advice of a friend who battles the same small-and-detailed habits as I do, I’m getting some fresh education and inspiration from Mary Gilkerson and other YouTube painting teachers. Starting with value sketches and following a few classic rules, I’m keeping it as fun, fast, and free as I can.

I loooove your van Gogh-esque trees! So nice!
Thank you!!
Oooh, I love that tree. And I really love the value sketch. It captures the sinister, long dead quality.
I ruin the value sketch every time 😉
The tree is GORGEOUS!
