Connecting the trunk to the leafs.
Looking at my tree drawings you might have the feeling that they consist of two separate parts: The trunk and the leafs.
You would be right.
I used to start with a trunk. Then stop to think how I would draw the rest of the tree.
The last few days I started with the top of the tree and then planted a trunk underneath.
But every tree drawing starts out with a lot of blue. I get a brown trunk by mixing blue with orange and green leafs by mixing blue with yellow.
So why couldn’t I draw the whole tree in blue and then mix in the orange and the yellow.
I tried. In combination with the drawing with the side of the pencil this makes for a very strong tree.
(If I may say so myself 
)
Tree 9
With a little more experimenting I found that if I mix purple with yellow I get almost the same color brown as when I mix blue with orange.
That should mean that I could mix branches into the leafs.
Something to try tomorow.
Which goes to show that I had nothing to worry about.
