An original gouache painting on 300gsm mixed media grey paper by Strathmore. Painted on location on a picnic bench at our camping site in Port Renfrew on July 7th 2023.
 
I’ve always kind of hated drawing/painting trees. I hadn’t quite found a way to paint them that I was happy with. In early July 2023, we went on a road trip with Liam’s family, and Andy (Liam’s dad) knows everything there is to know about trees, so I thought I’d give this Sitka Spruce a go, and luckily I think I’m finally happy painting trees. In fact, I’m drawn to painting them now.
