Finding tree colors.

I’ve been experimenting with a technique that isn’t completely new but I haven’t used it very much. A few months ago I tried this technique for a while. But I didn’t know what to do with it, so I forgot all about it.
According to my dictionary this should be called an underhanded pencil hold. (I’m not completely sure of that.) I hold my pencil almost flat. Almost parallel to the table. That way I can draw with the side of the pencil instead of using the point.

Drawing this way I get a much broader line. It’s a bit like painting with a broad brush.
The downside is that I loose some control but that doesn’t matter for this drawing. It actually gives the drawing a lively feeling.

The problem with this drawing is that I’m mixing colors that aren’t suited for a seascape.
They are, how ever, suited for a tree.
In my next drawing I’m going to combine this technique and color mix and hopefully find a method to draw trees.
