Working scale Junipers - Ryan Neil style

Post by lackhand »

I just found this excellent guide to working with/styling scale juniper (like shimpaku - the post details work with an itoigawa). It's a blog post written following a Ryan Neil workshop, so it's secondhand information, but still one of the best I've found. Anyway, I thought I would share. I know I'll be reading it a few more times to digest it all.

Enjoy, and feel free to post thoughts here. :geek: :reading:
Cheers, Karl

Thanks for posting mate, will have to have a read through when I get home.

Would love to do a workshop with Ryan, I like his style and approach to the art :)
