    We have covered winter trees in a previous techniques tutorial, so to follow up on that here is a summer and autumn tree. This is a great example of when to use the dry brush technique to achieve that 'hit and miss' look of foliage.

    I love how he explains what other find obvious. It’s those things that make him so much better as an instructor. I keep saying “Ah ha!!” I am so excited I have found his videos!!!!

    My daughter wants to learn how to paint landscapes in water colour. So I decided I'd help her out by searching for videos I think she should watch. I have only watched the first 5 minutes and already I am commenting because I am so impressed. There are several reasons:
    1. Unlike other tutorials, you show what you started with, without a lot of extraneous gabbing.
    2. You showed the selection and mixing of the colours AND your selection of paint brush.
    3. You demonstrated how to hold and use the brush as well as what NOT to do. In other words, you did not talk a lot on just the technical side (color, lighting, composition). Instead you described and demonstarted the brush stroke technique to use.
    4. Your first 4 minutes showed me a recognizaable tree and you have only STARTED.
    Your video may be almost 4 years old, but it one I am going to suggest to anyone who is a beginner and wants to learn how to paint water colour landscapes. Thank you.

    I have followed Geoff for years, first on SAA then on TH-cam. I like his tutorials and his choice of subjects. I am now retired and have the time to pick-up where I left off, with my painting. Thanks Geoff

    I feel like my blood pressure dropped watching this guy teach water painting. Real life experience behind the brushes, colors, and palettes. Another Boss Ross, but with water painting, lol. Good job, Geoff Kersey.

    I love how you use the grainy paper to make the tree. That's ingenious! That makes a beautifully realistic tree. I admire you for giving away your secret to how you make your tree look so realistic. Well done, Mr. Kersey! The 240 people who gave your technique a thumbs down don't appreciate how beautiful your technique or we'll never know why they gave it a thumbs down. Their loss!

    What a great teacher. He is easy to listen too, and I also love as well how he mixes his paint on the fly too, as another had mentioned earlier in a comment. Why do why like such a thing as that? I think it is because, he is just a very genuine guy and authentic. As for myself, I'm so wager to paint that I'm always mixing my paints as I go!

    I'm a total beginner who is trying to teach himself the "big-brush" or "fast-and-loose" style of watercolor popularized by the late Ron Ranson. Hence, I have watched many, many videos on various aspects of watercolor painting. Geoff, this is absolutely, positively the best tutorial on trees that I have EVER seen!
    Moreover, I think the vast majority of your techniques will "translate" well into my work with the 2" goat-hair hake brush (supplemented by a 1" flat brush and #3 rigor). Thank you VERY much for your clear, logical explanation and demonstration.

    Thank you so much for demystifying the tree. The scumbuling effect makes a hugh difference. Its nice to hear why it is important to do something rather than just being told to do it. You are a good and true teacher.
