Thank you so much! I’m a high school student and I have a talent show art competition in 2 weeks. I was practicing with watercolors as I think it may be the easiest but, I forgot to draw trees and now I’m here. This is just what I needed simple trees in the matters of minutes. Thank you very much again❤

Evergreen trees are my nemesis and I’m from Canada, so it’s like I’m some sort of grinchy anti-lumberjack or something else mean! I think this will be my winter goal… to get comfortable with painting evergreen trees. Every time I see you do it, you make me believe I can… so I’m just going to fill up pages and pages with these trees. It’s muscle memory that will make it happen, I guess. BTW, I lived in Yellowknife for over a decade and trees are pretty scruffy and small up there (mostly jackpine) and they look just like the one you did with the upturned branches. They made awesome Charlie Brown Christmas trees if you didn’t mind freezing your digits off cutting one down!

as a forester in northern BC, I struggle with painting conifers! Mostly because I spend so much time looking at the real thing and each species has its own overall growth shape, branch character, needles and variations of green. I love how Emma has done a few variations (the second one could be a young, open grown Douglas-fir -lol), and pines are a real challenge.

Tall trees look like lodge pole pine. Downward sloping branches look like Norwegian spruce. Upward sloping look like balsam. The less-detailed version looks like a Colorado blue spruce. The taller, full tree recalls the Ponderosa pine. Thanks for the lesson!

Wow they’re awesome looking. Reminds me of the 1: Bald Cypress or Redwood, 2: Blue Spruce, 3: Eastern Cedar, 4: Balsam Fir & 5: Pine, although I am not an expert. Gorgeous variety of evergreens 🌲! Thanks for sharing this wonderful fun video.

Amazing as always. I just thought I'd drop off a note that not all evergreens are coniferous like this. Here on the west coast, we have the amazing arbutus. They're called madrona in the US. They are Canada's only broadleafed evergreen. Their bark sheds in layers all year long, and they grow in directions that even Dr Seuss couldn't have imagined. I promise if you ever get a chance to come out here, you will pee in your pants with how excited you'll be to get to paint these masters of nature. They only grow within 5 km of the ocean though, so you have to come right out to the coast. The island is covered in these trees.

Loving the way you show two ways to do trees! At first did the branches “even” but when looked at them no tree branches are perfect & now some are actually (sometimes) looking like real ones but see need more practice! Tyvm as they seem easy but are not! Doing that lil swipe under the trunks is a great tip!

I really enjoyed watching each tree develop. It was very hard to pick a favorite and mine kept changing. In the end, I had to pick two! Numbers 2 and 5. This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I subscribed, and I am looking forward to seeing others. You are an excellent teacher and painter. Thank you so much for this video.
