Moss/Lichen on Oak Tree – Acrylic and watercolour in a Watercolour Moleskine
I was surprised to see many different native hardwoods during our recent trip. There has been, in the last 50years a tendency for vast conifer plantations to be grown for quick profit. Now the Forestry Commission has been busy planting more native species including the oak which once dominated Scotland. This drawing attempts to show the effects of parasitic growths in a very wet climate. The lichen and moss dominated this small wood in Glen Errochty. It was quite magical and I cannot do it justice.

We need some other colors besides spring blues and greens, I think; so here is a barn in autumn which I did last autumn. What interested me most about this one was the tawny grass, the oak tree and the cloud shadows in the mountains. It was another perfect painting day (no bugs in autumn) and the colors were intense.

I often use markers because they cover a lot of paper with color quickly, especially for field sketches.
