Geoff Kersey Watercolour Technique ⎮Summer and Autumn Trees⎮Watercolour Landscape

To see more of my tutorials click here bit.ly/2BfBs06
We have covered winter trees in a previous techniques tutorial, so to follow up on that here is a summer and autumn tree. This is a great example of when to use the dry brush technique to achieve that 'hit and miss' look of foliage.

Wow. I thank whoever for finding me your video. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.

[@mikecatg]

I love how he explains what other find obvious. It’s those things that make him so much better as an instructor. I keep saying “Ah ha!!” I am so excited I have found his videos!!!!

Just found this! Totally agree. Going to paint some trees today! Thankyou Geoff!

[@aquachinese4410]

This is absolutely one of the best watercolor tutorial! Thanks Geoff!

[@pauldodson7701]

I have followed Geoff for years, first on SAA then on KZbin. I like his tutorials and his choice of subjects. I am now retired and have the time to pick-up where I left off, with my painting. Thanks Geoff

My daughter wants to learn how to paint landscapes in water colour. So I decided I'd help her out by searching for videos I think she should watch. I have only watched the first 5 minutes and already I am commenting because I am so impressed. There are several reasons: 1. Unlike other tutorials, you show what you started with, without a lot of extraneous gabbing. 2. You showed the selection and mixing of the colours AND your selection of paint brush. 3. You demonstrated how to hold and use the brush as well as what NOT to do. In other words, you did not talk a lot on just the technical side (color, lighting, composition). Instead you described and demonstarted the brush stroke technique to use. 4. Your first 4 minutes showed me a recognizaable tree and you have only STARTED. Your video may be almost 4 years old, but it one I am going to suggest to anyone who is a beginner and wants to learn how to paint water colour landscapes. Thank you.

[@annhinson5670]

Your demonstration of tree foliage was very helpful. Thank you.

[@sugarfalls1]

I love how you use the grainy paper to make the tree. That's ingenious! That makes a beautifully realistic tree. I admire you for giving away your secret to how you make your tree look so realistic. Well done, Mr. Kersey! The 240 people who gave your technique a thumbs down don't appreciate how beautiful your technique or we'll never know why they gave it a thumbs down. Their loss!

[@handmade83]

I feel like my blood pressure dropped watching this guy teach water painting. Real life experience behind the brushes, colors, and palettes. Another Boss Ross, but with water painting, lol. Good job, Geoff Kersey.

[@snehadeshpande750]

you brought me back to life today.. thank you so much. I used to love to paint and have won many competitions.. and got so engrossed in academics that completely lost touch of art. Working 14 hrs a day, first time in many years I feel alive and fresh! Eternally grateful to you

[@DivinaVoluntas]

Bellissimi! ...Sembra fattibile...anche per me... Mi eserciterò, speriamo bene! GRAZIE DI VERO CUORE!

[@jennifercollings2984]

Thank you Geoff I used this with my online zoom art class which I share with military families having a fun relaxed hour or two with watercolour!!we enjoyed recreating your technique - thank you x

[@elianecosta5972]

Thank you Mr. Kersey for your tutorial! I loved so much!

[@typicalgamergirl]

[@cheerp7313]

Happy I discovered you! Thank you!

[@jda974]

[@lindasmith4268]

Hello Geoff, just want to say thank you for your brilliant tutorials! I've struggled with my trees, as it's been many many years since I picked up a brush, but at last I've found someone who has shown me how to paint trees that I want to paint! I'm in my 70s now, and your voice is so calm and relaxing that I feel confident now that I really can paint a tree that I like!

[@geoffkersey2244]

Thank you linda! I do have an online website where I release a new tutorial every two weeks as well as plenty of tips and tricks tutorials should you want to give it a go check it out at www.watercolourlandscapes.co.uk

[@lantidormi4981]

[@theresatitus-lawson3431]

Just starting with watercolor and this was an excellent tutorial on painting trees. Thank you Geoff!

[@barbaralee3425]

I have really been struggling, everything ending up in the trash. I came across this video, gave it a go, and my desire to paint has been restored. THANK YOU.

[@annierodenberg2327]

Geoff, you have given the best technique I have ever seen for dry brush. The trees and foliage are outstanding. Thank you for sharing.

[@sharonriley4297]

Thank you this was very enlightening.

[@rossanaleblanc]

Beautiful! Thanks for educating us.

[@user-oy7kp8vj8u]

This is a really great tutorial. I am relatively new at watercoloring and appreciate lessons like this so much. Thank you.

[@lorettascutta3629]

Excellent demonstration. I’m looking forward to painting some trees.

[@Linda-qq5mg]

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. You are a very good teacher and an excellent painter!

[@alexthe1cat]

Geoff, you're a wonderful and talented artist and watercolour teacher!

[@mariasusanafernandez7483]

Very clear explanations. Magistral!!!

[@bradcampbell261]

I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Very inspiring and you are great at teaching what you love down to the detail.

[@TTomJohn]

Thanks, Geoff. Nice lesson. Generous, helpful and enjoyable.

[@trudiewilson4609]

I have been struggling with trees for the longest time until now! Thank you so much for this east to follow, informative lesson!

[@avelenarachel]

I first subscribed to his watercolour tutorials because of this tree tutorial video. I am not arty at all, never painted anything in my life, but now I’m painting landscape scenes I’ve never imagined myself doing before so this has been so amazing

[@consueloyoung4484]

Thank you Geoff, wonderful tutorial. Keep them coming, please!🙏🏼❤️

[@Pit.Gutzmann]

Thank you Geoff, this is a great lesson.

[@geklanchua3347]

Indeed a good tutorial. Helpful I sure have learnt your painting techniques. Thank you

[@lanalawson3499]

What a great teacher. He is easy to listen too, and I also love as well how he mixes his paint on the fly too, as another had mentioned earlier in a comment. Why do why like such a thing as that? I think it is because, he is just a very genuine guy and authentic. As for myself, I'm so wager to paint that I'm always mixing my paints as I go!

[@jeanmiller5120]

Thank you so much for demystifying the tree. The scumbuling effect makes a hugh difference. Its nice to hear why it is important to do something rather than just being told to do it. You are a good and true teacher.

[@sandracarroll6233]

Thank you for the simplicity of your teaching.

[@mushroom7186]

All your paintings are so beautiful!

[@jpmlna]

Thank-you for this video tutorial! I love the numerous tips you give throughout this video - it really helps me as a beginner. I love your book too - "Painting perspective, depth & distance"!

[@doloreswhite3919]

[@cathymikequimbyquimby7315]

Wow! Can’t wait to try this. I’ve never had trees explained this way. Thank you.

[@patstokes3615]

thank you from an American cousin. I've been looking for someone that can paint a clear, yet simple, evergreen.

[@patdale9658]

He is so easy to listen to and he explains it so well

[@34littleb]

[@gfrankoff6427]

Great demonstration - thank you so much.

[@huemanatie4392]

So glad I happened upon your video. So very sensible.

[@judybreedlove5348]

Thank you, Geoff. I've followed you for many years on Art Tutor (still do) and have learned much from you. My favorite paintings are landscapes that include trees. This was a great tutorial, as always.

[@callie8848]

Thank you so much for your tutorial!! Extremely helpful. I really appreciate the fact that you show how you work through little mistakes here and there, as it's a lot more realistic; I think many artists (beginner artists, etc) feel as though when they make a mistake, their artwork is gone. It's refreshing to see how those mistakes can be utilized in a painting, instead of *ruining* it. Your art is beautiful! Thanks so much again. :)

[@Mr7valentine7]

Great! Thank you so much, Geoff!

[@EKS49]

Geoff I have been watching you since you were a young un and still watching, funny thing is landscapes are not my thing to paint but I like watching.

[@elainethompson3845]

Thank you Geoff for this. As a newby to painting it was so helpful and clear and you named all the colours you used. Many don’t.

[@suel4269]

This is my favorite tree tutorial. I’ve seen it many times. Thankyou

[@saltylavender7096]

Wow ! Thanks so much. Great to see your technique displayed here. Impressive, indeed.

[@stadeler1]

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

Thank you for this tutorial!

[@radharcanna]

Nicely explained. You have a very pleasant teaching style.

[@vespa4jen]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and have wanted to see how to paint these pine trees! Your explanations are perfect for me as a beginner in Watercolor.

[@MsHeidyn]

This is so beautiful! The explanations are so clear and straight forward. Its so clear that from basic strokes, you can control more complicated paintings. I am enjoying every single video you do. Please do as many as you can. Your work is amazing. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@onamissionjpg1658]

Brilliant!! Thank you for sharing your skills with us.

[@popup4393]
