value practice

The idea here was to be rigorous in establishing and maintaining values ... I can't seem to do values in color. That will be my next attempt!
I wasn't happy with how thick I let the branches on the tree get, so I added some streaks of white and splatter for snow.

Thank you, Jill. I'm glad you like it, and that you commented!
It's true: I am hard on myself, but I can take it! ;-)

I’ve always found it difficult to do bare trees but this looks good to me - as usual, more practice makes perfect and I always think of Andrew Wyeth’s love of the bare trees and shrubs. As for the values, they work well here :).
