To stand beneath a tree is to witness grace, structure, and beauty all at once.

If you missed my recent Art of the Tree live class—or simply want to revisit it—I’m thrilled to share that the full 3-hour recording is now available!

In this in-depth pastel session, we explore the anatomy and artistry of trees: their branching structure, rhythm, massing, and subtle interaction with light and space. I walk you through a full demonstration in pastel, breaking down each step to help you feel more confident capturing these majestic forms in your own work.

What you’ll learn:

🌿 How to simplify a tree’s complex structure
🌳 The art of “sky holes” and light effects
🎨 Techniques for value, color temperature, and expressive mark making
❌ Common pitfalls (like the “christmas ornament” tree!)—and how to fix them
✨ Plus: personal insights and painterly tips throughout

Whether you paint landscapes regularly or simply love the poetry of trees, this class is full of helpful instruction and visual inspiration.
