This video is packed with so much helpful content. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to do this xx

[@celinem8456]

Thank you, this is so helpful to be reminded that it's shapes and values that are the essence of drawing. I found that when I changed the video speed to 25%, it was easier to watch and think about how you are making marks. I muted the volume so as not to be distracted by the very odd audio!

[@maryjones1]

Thank you for another video of wonderful tips. I need to follow the tip related to overthinking things, as this often stops me from getting started. 😊

[@LeslieStroz]

It’s sooo easy to overthink things, but you can definitely learn to trust your eyes. Your brain will thank you for the break. 😊

[@jayirwin]

Thank you for breaking down your process for drawing trees to the fundamentals. I found this REALLY helpful. Your tutorials are some of the best out there, Leslie. Much appreciated ❤

[@ullabonderup]

I love your calm and very useful videos. I feel I’m in such good company

[@LeslieStroz]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@p.d.leiker3669]

I so love naked trees.. fully dressed trees..&trees in process of shedding? I have dreamt of doing these sketches.. so now I may actually attempt this! You have a way of simplifying things,,, but I'm FINALLY realizing I need to ATTEMP a few hundred times to actually bring together all that I'm learning from you.. You seem to exude patiencefor which I thank you😊

[@LeslieStroz]

I’m so glad this was helpful. Try sketching trees in a small notebook so that it’s less overwhelming. You can do it! 😊

[@Babyjohn8170]

This video was amazing. I couldn’t keep my eyes off the details of how you explain to draw the trees. Definitely will be watching this video again and again. Thank you. 😊👍💎

[@maureencoles9914]

As always wonderful. So straight forward and clear. Thank you

[@JoAnneSmith-di8ok]

Thank you for the tree tips. I have been looking at and doing little studies of trees, types, shapes etc. for the past few months. You have simplified things for me. Nice video 😊

[@MaxineBotts]

This was a very interesting study……thank you!

[@LeslieStroz]

My pleasure! 😊

[@tzarka]

Great to see the Staedtler pens from your review in action, they look great!

[@LeslieStroz]

I’m loving them!! 😊

[@sarahmcarthur9107]

This is so helpful--I was just about to put a tree in a sketch I'm working on and I'm pretty overwhelmed by it--it's a huge, gorgeous tree and I'm inexperienced. So this is very, very helpful to me right now--thank you so much!

[@LeslieStroz]

Remember to be fearless! Try to have fun with it and look for the values and patterns… it will be loads easier. 😊

[@LesleyKing-1905]

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Thank you 😊

[@nalissa77]

Thanks for the tips. I find it striking how “heavy” Rembrandt’s lines are. Not having the luxury of fine liners really stands out.

[@gulcan6784]

Love your art❤

[@r.designs]

I just got my Tiny Pallet in & am sooo excited but also really just starting over again. Do you have any tips for beginners trying to learn perspective ? Also Ty for this my trees look like blobs😅

[@LeslieStroz]

I have a playlist that includes tips for perspective drawing. Check out the”Drawing Tips” playlist. 😊

[@t-daze]

Love the music in this video. Are you able to share the title and source? So often I draw and paint in complete silence, which sometimes is needed, but having beautiful music playing in the background might be a nice change. Thanks so much.

[@LeslieStroz]

It’s from Epidemic Sounds. They have lovely music. I’ll look for the titles tomorrow and add them to the video description.

[@t-daze]

@@LeslieStroz Thank you. By the way, I recently ordered a full pan mixing palette of 14 colors produced by Roman Szmal from Poland. The package from Jackson's Art Supplies arrived today and I was eager to see for myself the bright colors I had heard about and try them, especially since they come in a metal box for such a reasonable price. The colors are vivid and jewel like in full concentration but soft and delicate when watered down. Combining colors such as Cobalt Cerulean and Quinacridone Gold, I get the nice muted tones that I like. I'm going to enjoy experimenting with these new colors. :)

[@subramanianramasarma1526]

Nice.what pens do you recommend?

[@tiagosurita]

How do I deactivate the HDR option in your videos?

[@TheSwissy4me]

Helpful? Oh yes ma’am ❤. Excellent tutorial. I’ve been practicing and it’s so much fun Mind if I ask about the book you used as a reference for the oak? I love books like this and would like to add it to my collection.

[@olofdk6593]

Thank you for this advice you gave us and, Yes, I would also love to know what books you referenced in this video.
