Weekend Tree Sketching - Cypress

A pen and wash sketch of a tall cypress tree. It is in front of a building which is outlined just in pen work. On weekends nowadays I head out to find a tree to draw as my daily sketch. Here is my sketch from this past Sunday of a cypress that is in front of a nearby church. When I sketched it I realized that the watercolors I wanted to paint it with were in my Schmincke pan color set back at home, so I finished it off there. The paints I used were raw umber for the trunk and perylene green and yellow ochre for the foliage.
