Learn a technique for painting 3-dimensional trees! We'll share some color theory, a brush technique and how to use layers to achieve the look you want. This super helpful painting lesson will take the stress away from making realistic and visually pleasing trees so you can feel confident in your next nature-themed painting!
Stippling = dabbing the brush, hold it farther towards the end for looseness
Color theory = start with darkest greens and slowly lighten
Making a shadow for green = add it's compliment, red
Layering = let each layer dry, then add a lighter green to the top section to "ice" it
Make sure to keep layers loose (not fully covering other layers)
