Drawing and monochrome are fine but as soon as colour is involved things go wrong. Folks say just paint as you see it but then it isn't a true representation of the subject.

But as you say, there are so many different shades of every color, easy to mismatch any of them. And this beautiful photograph shows it very nicely: Tree trunks can really be colored with any color you like. Mistaking brown for purple – hmmm, never happened to me.

Someone laughed and couldn't believe I had mistaken brown for purple. As far as I can remember the shades were very similar (to me anyway). I did feel a little stupid but I knew why I had done it so it didn't bother me that much. Anyway tree trunks can be <a href="http://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit-us/whats-on/temporary-exhibitions/wpy/gallery/image.jsp?image=3479" title="'Ancient snow gum' By Tom Putt" rel="nofollow">all sorts of colours</a>.
