Picea albertiana conica timelapse
Hi all,
Worked on a Picea and decided to do a camera setup to try capture as many moves and tweaks as I can.
It had many many branches so I was able to really play with branching and form, quite fortunate I think. Most of it was simply pulling branches down and into spaces before refining the pads further
The tree is looking pretty and the apex needs a bit of refinement and thinning.
Potentially a pot change and the usual.
I had to pull down the quality of the animation as it would be massive. Nonetheless it pretty much shows the basic outline and process. The quality may not be as beautiful so I'll provide a link to my blog as well. https://thetreerefinery.files.wordpress ... picea2.gif
Not sure if the animation starts from the start, but if it doesn't you can wait til it loops back to the material before styling

Lovely tree and cool time lapse!
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

I tried my hand at them many years ago here on the coast, but I couldn't keep them healthy. Just kept deteriorating.Andrew F wrote:Can you elaborate further on this Ken? Im keen on trying Picea but I have similar environmental factors.kcpoole wrote:for me they are bad
