this weeks class

Post by pebble »

last week I posted up pics of a fig i had done while at a bonsai south class.
this weeks class was slanted or windswept, I chose a Shimpaku juniper that already had a bit of a lean on it and more foliage on one side, also what i thought was a great nebari so would be perfect for a windswept. am really enjoying the classes and the advice we are getting.
i feel like my technique is defiantly improving, still need a little guidance, feel i know the answers just need to be reassured I'm doing the right thing.

wow he really does some awesome trees, some great root over rock. i see what you guys are getting at may need to change the styling a little bit to make it look a little more genuine.
thanks for pointing that out :)
