Oil painting without happy trees

In the oil painting class I continued to build up the masses of color in the landscape and add some detail. Here is what I did this weekend. I used a fan brush to add some yellow highlights. Big mistake. I got "happy trees," so I reworked them.



Today I started on the water in the stream and continued with adding detail.

Oils and acrylics are so forgiving. I agree with Shoe about watercolors! Hope you have time to puruse your painting - enjoy your work.
