A New Method for Painting Coniferous Trees with Digital Watercolours- 2 short video demonstrations UPDATE: There is an article on this in September 2011 Issue of Digital Paint Magazine.

I've been trying to make some quick video's to demonstrate some new techniques and brushes for you. It will take a lot of practice to get comfortable doing it. But, I have to start somewhere. Have a look. The brushes are very wet looking!
Videos are approximately 5 minutes each and can be viewed on Screencast. Just click on the links below. When finished, hit your back button to return to this website. New Method for Painting Coniferous Trees -Part One: New Method for Painting Coniferous Trees -Part Two: There must be a better way to have video's in your blog, but for now this is the best way I can figure it out that works reliably.
Let me know what you think!
Cheers,

Hey Joan,
The videos are terrific and I love what you are doing with the basic Digital Sq Pool Blender. I thank you for giving me some of the credit, but when changing brushes, espcially as much as you do, the brush is now yours completely. Change its name and publish it for others. I would never have thought to use Color variarbility gradient and I love the additional squeeze. Very cool...you are becoming a Master with brushes.
Well done my friend,
Skip
