Title
Autumn Birch Trees
Artist
Conni Schaftenaar
Medium
Mixed Media - Watercolor And Ink On Paper
Description
Mixed media painting by Conni Schaftenaar - Birch trees in early fall, lots of yellow and some oranges appearing among green leaves, while the grasses and low scrub around the trees is also turning yellows and oranges.
This is a drawing done with an Elegant Writer pen, which bleeds cyan and magenta when activated. Once the ink was activated and dried, watercolor was applied to add the greens, golds, and oranges of this autumn scene.
Trees are from a reference photo found on PMP-Art.com, by Simons Photography. I did not include the water and the dark pines in the background of this photo, because I wanted the bright look of trees in early fall.

"Birches bend and sway
Golden green leaves trembling
Distant hills glow gold"
