I painted these trees using Friskit and waited for it to dry then painted the background, allowed that to dry, then pulled off the friskit and
dry-brushed the trees. Its a great way to paint tress at night or birch trees. The colors used in the background are ultramarine blue with purple and sometimes mixed with green. These colors are mixed in several puddles of color and painted on so that they merge together. The lighter areas of the background are lifted color, while still damp, use tissues to lift off color.
I just love this painting! I always watch for the way trees stand silently, waiting for us to notice them. Very beautiful indeed !
I love your painting but could you tell me what is Friskit?
Thank you for explaining how you painted. Very lovely. Shelly
