Grey branches are sprouting new green growth, gardens and hedgerows are ablaze with yellows and zesty greens. <center>https://s25.postimg.org/thgorbzgf/IMG_20170401_095456.jpg</center> I'm using charcoal, watercolours and acrylic paint for this picture. I think charcoal is a very fitting medium to use to capture the old dead wood of winter, this particular charcoal is willow charcoal made from burnt willow branches. <center></center> I applied the watercolours, building up layers of colour and density. Once dry I applied the charcoal over the top, creating a simple line drawing before adding darker tones. Final highlights were added with white and yellow acrylic paint that I applied thickly over the surface of the watercolour. <center>https://s25.postimg.org/b365ncn5r/april_20171.jpg</center> <center>https://s25.postimg.org/bu3h6vewv/IMG_20170331_221633-002.jpg</center> ### <center>Hello springtime!</center> [<center></center>](https://steemit.com/@opheliafu)
