Study of trees at Ballater, Aberdeenshire is a 1850 watercolor by Andrew Wilson, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet forest scene with tall, thin trees and a small stream cutting through the ground. The colors are mostly muted greens, browns, and grays, with some patches of lighter yellow where sunlight might peek through. The brushstrokes are loose and sketchy, giving it a rough, natural feel. The trees dominate the scene, their branches reaching out in different directions. The artist focused on their shapes and shadows rather than details, making the forest feel wild and untamed.
