Painting Project No. 16 & 17 from 'Ways to Learn Acrylics' - Trees

With only three more till Chapter 3, I’m posting two projects from ‘Little Ways to Learn Acrylics: 50 small painting projects..." by Mark Daniel Nelson.

Project number 16 ‘Layering opaque over transparent: Summer tree’ was a fun exercise…gotta love trees. The first layers looked great and I almost stopped there, but the exercise was about layering so I kept going.

Project number 17 ‘Layering over an under-painting: Tree silhouette’ was fun as well and I expect to be using this technique more. I already have a bunch of ideas for it; tried a Venice silhouette but it didn’t come out well. Will try another silhouette painting soon:)).
