My most recent bonsai tree, which was bought, planted and shaped at a workshop at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens about two months ago, is having the tips of some branches turning brown. I keep it outside (I live in the high desert), I've been watering it when dry and I fed it half strength fertilizer once since planted.
Can anyone give me a clue as to how to prevent the tips turning brown and why it may be happening?
Thank you for suggestions and help in advance.

It is browning because the pant is dead I am afraid.
You probably cut too much off/bend the branches too much/put it in the dry sun directly after/...

It's not only the browning tips, but also the green needles that look pale and dry.
I second LB's diagnosis - the plant is dead.
