EARLY ACCESS // tree studies (Patreon)

Here are some studies that match the topic of this month’s tutorial! Here in the Netherlands, we have a tree called a “knotwilg” which literally means “knot willow.” It’s a kind of willow tree that is kept small and short, and has its branches removed every so often so that it stays small and chunky (otherwise it splits open from the weight of its own branches). What I love about these trees is that they look like little characters. I wanted to make a few studies that show the strong personality that I often see in these trees.
