This idea of natural inability in regard to tree-painting perhaps becomes in him a settled conviction and he goes floundering on for of course he cannot give up his sketching, blotting in his trees with meaningless and inartistic dabs (which by-and-by become his recipe) and from this very hopelessness, making little or no attempt at reproducing the forms, which, as a matter of fact, he sees quite plainly, and is perfectly conscious of. \u003cbr\u003eNow, this theory of spontaneous foliage-cleverness we entirely disagree with. Of course a natural love of art is quite essential to success in any kind of painting, but we hold that, given the artistic ability, it is just as capable of being turned in the direction of tree-painting as in any other; and with success, if only the study of tree form be set about in a right manner and with conviction. \u003cbr\u003e\"Freedom of handling\" we are told, and \"lightness of touch\" are necessary to tree-painting. This is undoubtedly true, for a tree is an object that is continually on the move, swayed by the wind first one way and then the other and through which a bird can fly. It is only with certain dexterity that this appearance of life and motion can be given. \u003cbr\u003eBut \"freedom of handling\" is only another name for that sureness of brush which results from practice, and from the knowledge obtained by the mastery of the subject from its elemental stages upwards. When painting a tree it should always be kept in mind and never forgotten, that it is a tree, composed of delicate, feathery leaves, and not a solid, immovable substance like brick or stone. It ought to be the painter's aim to portray the quality and material of the tree as well as its form and colour. \u003cbr\u003eRemembering these all-important matters, the dexterity will come in time; and to the sketcher who has tried and failed and to the novice who is not yet conscious of his power and is uncertain how to shape his course or what method to pursue, we would say, \"Start at the beginning; do not think any bit of tree form too trivial for study, or any labour too great. \u003cbr\u003eIn this book we are learning to paint trees in water-colour, but we would advise the pupil, in order to make himself thoroughly conversant with the character and formation of the different kinds, to execute careful studies of them with pen and ink and under all conditions of leafage. \u003cbr\u003eBy this means, as he has no medium but black and white to work with. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTO BE CONTINUED...
