1. Welcome to the class: Welcome to another
interesting painting class. In this class, you
will learn how to make this wonderful tree with some beautiful sky
and some foliage. This class is
specifically designed for beginners who want to
learn about composition, about how to create
clean colors, about brush handling, and all of that while
creating a wonderful Hi, my name is
George, and I've been a professional artist
for over ten years. Six years ago, I've fallen
in love with teaching, both online and in
person classes. By working with both
adults and children, I've developed a
very interesting way of teaching that
focuses on making engaging projects
while having fun and learning about
painting concepts. If that sounds like
something you want to do, let's jump into the class.
2. Materials needed : Hello, and welcome to another
beautiful painting course. For this course, you
will need a canvas. It doesn't matter
what size it is. This is 30 by 30 centimeters. You can also have a
rectangular canvas. This is going to work
on any kind of canvas, even if it's a round canvas. You will need a mixing plate. I've been using this
one for a while, so it has a bit of a stain. You will need a big flat brush, a tiny flat brush, and also a liner brush. This is going to be a
landscape painting, so you will need some water, the mixing plate, as well
as some acrylic paint. This is titanium white from
Amsterdam acrylic paint. This is azo yellow medium. You can also use lemon yellow. This is just lemon yellow
with a bit of red. This is carmine red. Brown, also known as burnt
umber and brilliant blue. You will also need some paper
towels in order to clean the brushes and maybe touch
up some of the canvas.
3. Gorgeous blue: For the first step, you will
need to add some blue to the mixing plate. Some white. As well as a tiny bit of yellow. With the big flat brush and a touch of water on
the corner of the brush, take about half of the
blue and a lot of white. Mix it in quite nicely, creating a beautiful light blue. Let's mix it in with more white and add
a touch of yellow. Just a touch of yellow to make the color a bit
more interesting. Once you've done that, squeeze
the brush on the plate. Take some of the color and start in this
beautiful corner, adding an interesting shape, just going from the corner down. You don't have to
cover it perfectly. Just imagine as if it's a sky, just a bit of sky over here. Now over on this side, from this corner,
a smaller shape. You can also take your time and practice some brush marks. They are very useful to understand what
your tools can do. Like, notice it can make
a small little line. It can make a big one. And then you can cover them, take some of this
paint over here, so it dries a bit faster
and continue to brush over. And let's create
some smaller patches like over on this side. Taking some more, covering, making a flat color
everywhere where you desire. It doesn't really matter
where you put this color. I would stick a little bit to the top side just
because sky color sometimes is on the top and sometimes is on the lower side if it's a river or
something else. You should also Think of
the shapes, creating a big, a medium, and then
smaller shapes, take some water, so the
paint glides a bit better. And this is a great
time to think of edges. Like, notice how you can
make those edges more interesting and also fix the fact that they are
fuzzy in some areas. Let's take a bit more color
and add it over on this side. And that's all you need
for this beautiful step.
4. Green patches: This next step, you don't
need to let the paint dry. You can also add, if you still have some color, just clean up a bit of these edges and finish up the color you
have on the brush. After you do that,
you can clean it by adding some water to it and
squeezing the paint out. You don't have to be
perfect with that. You need to add some brown
to the mixing plate. You already have the
other two colors, which is yellow and blue. Starting with some blue, let's add it over here. Add some brown to it. Just a touch of brown, making it very dark
and some yellow. Don't worry if your
colors look different. It's gonna work
any way and shape. You've created a
beautiful dark green. If your green is too
blue or too yellow, just add the opposite. Like if it's too blue, add more yellow or more brown, or if it's too yellow, add more brown or more blue. Okay, let's take some water
to make it run a bit better, squeeze some of that paint out of the brush so you
can mix it thoroughly. And now start on the edges
right next to the blue. It's going to pick some of
the blue up. That's fine. It's creating a
wonderful gradient, and you can also mix it up. With the blue onto the mixing plate so that
you get more flat color. Now, this is the moment
to think of edges. You create interesting
shapes by going inside just a bit of the blue
and sharpening those edges. Okay. And going a bit inside, you don't have to
think too much about the placement of these shapes. All you have to think is big, medium, small, big,
medium, small. That's all you have to think, creating shapes that are
big, medium and small. Notice how it took
some blue over there. Let's mix over and create
some interesting outlines. This is a very important step
to create complex outlines. You can think of the
edge of a shape as big, medium, small, as well. So medium, small, big. So you create complexity
in a very seamless way. Okay, let's take
some water and find another place where
it's too where the paint and the
blue is too calm. And let's create some
edges that are different. Okay. And as you go, you will notice that
the color becomes thinner and it also picks up a lot of the
blue from the sky. But that's fine. You
can go ahead and mix it again and again until
you have a different shade. Notice how it's much
more turquoise. Well, not a lot, but
just a tiny bit. Let's create some
more edges over here, and notice how these shapes
are too much of the same. They have the same
size, the same shape. So you have to
decide which one to make bigger. And different? Same over here. Let's make
this one a bit bigger. And instantly, you've created a different type of
communication between shapes. Let's create another
one over here. Avoid having straight,
very straight lines because this
will be a tree. You don't have to
think of it as a tree. You have to think of
it just as colors and shapes because whatever
you do in the background, it doesn't really matter. All you have to do is make interesting shapes and
interesting colors. Okay. And as soon as
you finish this color, you can take some more yellow, mix it over the color,
take a bit of water, just a tiny bit, so
it mixes faster. And just like that, you have another green. With this green, you can
do one of two things. Can either go close to
the blue and create shapes the same way or close to the green
connecting the shapes. But don't go into the colors. You don't want to
blend them together. You want to keep them separate. Okay. And create a big one, a medium one, and now
it needs a small one. Perfect. Creating some
more edges that are nicer and then going and adding close to this
green, another shape. Okay. And over here, squeezing that paint out
and going closer to the blue and over here,
me big shape. Small shape and continue on until you finish the color,
creating more shapes. Big, you can go
faster or slower. Taking a bit of yellow because the color is a bit darker now. And just continue
with this color, creating some small
shapes here and there. We are just waiting for
the blue to dry a bit and painting in between the
areas for a tiny bit. Okay, creating another
shape over here. On the lower side
and one going out, cleaning up the brush
faster and more loose. And that's all you need
to do for this step.
5. Earthy tones puzzle: The next step, you're going
to need to add a bit of yellow right over here at the top and take
some of that yellow, add it to the middle
of the plate, and with a touch of brown, just a light touch of brown. Maybe that's too much brown, but in fact, it's a good color. Just creating a brownish green. Let's take a bit of blue. And it's a beautiful
brownish green, preparing ourselves for
beautiful and vibrant color. You want to add this color. Let's add some water so
it glides a bit better. And let's add it and cover
some of these areas of white. Notice how the white dictates
how the shape looks, and it's a much
easier way to create these abstract shapes
this way. Okay? Big shape. Let's add some over the green. And notice this white
spot over here. Let's add a touch of
color over there, and big shape, small shape. Let's make it a
bit more organic. Let's go over here and
do the same shape, big, and then small. Notice how this color is
much more of a earthy tone. Usually, beginners don't
choose these colors because they don't feel
they are good enough. They are not vibrant. They are not they
don't say much, but they are very good colors because when you add something
that's more vibrant, like a very intense
yellow or green or something that
is very potent. You have a space where
to put the color. It Colors only are
vibrant in comparison. They are not vibrant
on their own. Well, they can be, but in comparison, they
create a lot more contrast. Let's fill in this space. Over on this side. And the
blue is almost halfway dry. So you can after the
complete dry of the blue, you can start to do some
more interesting things. For now, you've just
filled in the canvas as you go and
adding some shapes, big, beautiful green
shape right over here. And, of course, smaller one. You can reduce the idea of big, medium, small to big
and small as well. Just because maybe
you don't have enough space to add
a medium shape. Okay? Let's cover
this corner, as well. And just to change the color, let's add some yellow, quite a bit of it, creating
a more vibrant color. But still, it's not
at 100% vibrancy. Okay, mix it very well, squeeze the paint
out of the brush, and then continue to add it in between covering some
of the white as you go, as much of it as possible. And creating a beautiful
intersection in between colors. You don't have to
blend them together. The goal here is to keep
them clean and tidy. They can blend a bit, but not just by accident,
not by choice. Okay. And going up on this side, creating this beautiful shape. Let's take some
more of that color and fill it in just over here. Over on this side, going and in between the shapes. You can also switch to the other smaller
brush if you want. It's a bit better to try to do it with a bigger brush
because it goes faster, and you can learn a
bit of brush handling. Notice how you can use the
brush on its side or on its corner to cover some
areas that are smaller. And even if you don't get the desired result,
you learned something. But it's gonna look amazing
anyway by the end of it. I know it looks kind
of funny right now, but it will look quite
interesting as the blue dries. So for the next step,
you will need to let the blue dry completely. You don't have to let
the green dry just take a finger and see
if the blue is dry completely or look
into the light, like move a bit and see if
the blue is wet or not. Let's cover a bit
more of the paint, and there you go with
this step, as well. In the next step, you
will need to let the blue completely dry and
take the small brush. We're going to recreate some of the colors as well as make some more interesting
vibrant versions of them with a small brush, and we're going to create
a beautiful foliage.
6. Smaller brush, smaller shapes: But the blue is dry. I've noticed some spots
over here, but that's fine. Some white spots. That's
just an opportunity. Let's take the small flat brush, take some yellow, mix it in over on the side,
take some blue. Creating a green and just add a bit of
brown to cut it out and make it more
natural looking. You don't want to jump in
with vibrant color instantly. So let's add it and
continue the shapes. Now, focusing on the edges, making some runaways, as well. Runaways are just shapes
outside into the blue. Notice how this is just a
great opportunity to make a bigger shape where the white is and then a smaller
one next to it. And inside the greens, you can add wherever
you see some white, let's focus in on just
the white parts at first, wherever you see some
white of the canvas. And if you don't have any white and you've done
a better job than me, then you can just add it over on the blue where the
green and the blue meets, as well as inside of the green. Some small shapes. You're focusing on making
it seem like it's foliage. That's where the big and medium and very small
shapes come in. And this is what's going to
make the whole blobs of paint and the shapes look like
they are small leaves. You don't have to make a lot of them because you're going to make a lot more
colors as you go, and you're going to
have the opportunity to make many more shapes, many more small leaves. And going and adding
some more over here, maybe on this side
because there is some white and covering this with some color
as well as this. Wherever you see some
speckles of white canvas, just add a small
little divt of paint. You can go and make the shapes a bit smaller, the blue shapes. You can go a bit wider with the brush and create
some interesting shapes, making the green's
a bit more big. Depends on how big you made
the initial blue shapes. And continuing focusing on
the edges where you see white and just to jump around the canvas to trick our brain into thinking
that we are making trees. It's very important
to jump and do things over here and then jump over
here a bit more chaotic. The painting might
feel right now that it's going into a
wrong direction, but this is just a point. There is a point
in every painting where it feels as
if it's the worst. But that's just the point in which it's just
going to grow to a nicer place and become a better painting as
you add more things. So focus in just on covering
some of the white spots and maybe going inside of the
blue to create some shapes. And going around, you've waited for the blue
just because this way, you have just a clean color. It doesn't pick up
any of the blue, so it doesn't mix
into the green. So you have cleaner colors. This is one of the tricks
to use with acrylic. You have clean colors by just focusing on the color itself and then letting
everything dry. And then you go back with vibrant and different colors as you change the color palette. And let's add some last
brush marks with this color. Notice how much more
complex the painting is and try to find areas where
it seems too open to. Like, for instance,
this is so contrived. Let's add some more dots and spots to break that monotony, adding some more
complexity. Okay. So more white over here, creating a bigger
shape of this color. And just to take some of
that color from the plate, you can add it and
make a bigger shape. Everywhere you decide
that it's needed. You don't have to
think about it, if you see a white spot, just cover it with this color, and it will fit nicely. And that's all you
need for this step. In the next step,
you'll add more yellow and create a
more vibrant color.
7. Color and composition: For this step, you'll
need to take some more yellow and add it
over the green, creating a lighter
version of this color. Mix it very well.
Squeeze that paint out. Oh, no. The brush
started rolling. Mix it very well.
Once you have that, you can start to add it like you did with
the other color. And continuing to make
the blues a bit smaller. Like, for instance, let's add a bigger shape over
here of this color, thinking of the big
and small and medium. But this time on a
smaller scale, like, notice that this
would be considered a medium shape in the
grand scheme of things. This was a bigger
shape beforehand, and then this was
a bigger shape. So you go in and add complexity and detail
to a smaller degree. And let's add some
more of this color. You can add it inside of
the greens as well to cover some of the
white of the canvas. And over here, there
is some white. This edge is a bit fuzzy. Notice how these shapes
are too similar. So let's connect them
and then add another one smaller and another one
even smaller next to it. There is some white over here. And some white
over on this side. Let's focus in and find
some more white spots. This way, you don't
really have to think too much when creating the painting. You just have to find
the white spots and then add a bigger shape
and then a smaller shape. And that way you create a lot of diversity and a lot
of abstract shapes. Okay. And let's make
this a bit more opaque. And over here, Oh, no. I picked up some blue,
but that's fine. We're just varying
the color a bit. That's a good sign that
we should end this step. And over here, there
is some white. You cannot see the difference, even though there is a bit of a bit more blue
into the color. You can't really see it just because you're not adding
it over the yellow. Just trying to find
the white spots, trying to not miss any
of them and adding some more diversity of
color over some areas. And wherever you
see a boring spot, just add a bit of color. Like, for instance, let's
look for a boring part. Like, over here, notice how
it's a 90 degree angle. Let's break that down, add another shape, and now
it looks much fancier. And over on this side, creating more
highlights, let's say. And white and over here. And I'm noticing some over on this corner and some over here. Just cleaning up the brush. Let's find a spot maybe over
here and clean up the brush onto the Canvas making a shape. Remember to make
it interesting by adding some nice edges to it, and then making a
smaller shape next to it and another smaller one. And you can even edit some
of the shapes inside even more if you find
some white spots or if you feel like there is, like, this line that
could be a bit better. So let's break it a bit by
adding two shapes inside. Okay, and that's
all for this step.
8. Color Bridges: The next step, you're going
to need to clean a bit of the paint that you have
on the small brush and take some yellow, mix it in on a side of the plate that is
not has no color. And you want to make a green that's a bit more
yellow than green. So it has a lot of
yellow inside of it. This will be a very
light green, okay? And start by adding it over the yellow parts you've just created just so it
doesn't feel foreign. And sometimes you can add it in spots where you
still can find some white and continue
developing this foliage. These small dots
rotate the brush, so it creates a
different mark and create more complexity by adding small little
spots of color. You can go inside of the green.
Don't forget to do that. It's very important and create some small
pockets of blue, maybe by connecting
these two areas and find areas where you can connect the greens and leave
out some of the blues. It's very important to give the impression that there aren't just shapes
of blue like this, maybe creating some interesting
bridges, maybe over here. Just create a few bridges so
that it breaks the shapes, and it creates these
small pockets of sky. Like we can add some of
this color over here and maybe let's add some more
color over on this side, connecting these
almost connecting these two areas and making
another color over here. Okay, and building a bridge
maybe over on this side, almost touching,
but not so much. But over here, we can
actually bridge it. Don't worry if they look off, we're going to go
into other colors and make them look a lot nicer. Just concentrate on adding some small shapes of color and sometimes
adding some bigger ones, and then some small
ones and connect. Focusing on the edge. That's where you're
going to find the most texture and
the most interest. And sometimes add another shape inside just to
balance things out. Find the white spots
and paint over them. You can go as fast or
as slow as you want. Okay. And let's add some more over here and
over on this side. You can also go outside from the blue and add some
shapes like this. Maybe there is a branch
just going out from there. That will create a lot
of variety as well. So find a spot,
like for instance, this one and add some
dots and shapes. If your colors are
too transparent, you might need to
add another layer. The way to combat
that transparency is by using thicker paint
or better paint. Some cheaper acrylics
are way more transparent just
because they put more water or whatever it is. And for the last drops of
paint over on this side. And that's all for the step.
9. Last highlights: This next step, you're
going to need to add some more yellow to the plate, maybe not that much, and mix it in with just
a touch of blue. Or if you still have the
green that you used earlier, just mix it in with this color. You can also add some blue. Let's add some
blue, so you notice how much yellow you need in order to create a
lighter version of the last color
you've created. It's almost 100%
yellow at this point, but it does have
some blue in it. Okay? Once you've created that, squeeze the color out,
just so you mix it better and start adding
some of this color. First starting over top, the last color you've added. If you have too much paste, like I have, just move around, placing it in different spots and then go back
where you've added the thicker paint and take it from there
and spread it around. Okay. And it starts to look
better and better as you go. You add a lot of color
variety by just mixing lighter shades of the same
color and complexity. Notice how this is now
not just a ring of color. It's more than that
because it has two shades. It doesn't have just
only one shade of green. Okay. And adding some
more over on this side. Notice how this is
very small and alone. You can add some more
paint around it to add the complexity back in
and make it more interesting. Okay, focusing on making
bigger and smaller shapes. You can also connect some of the areas and then make a
smaller one next to it. Go a bit into the blue and over some shapes
that are too flat. Creating some more
interesting shapes. Look at the edges and find
areas that are boring. Like, for instance, this is very boring and it
has some white as well. So it needs a bit of texture. Notice that we're not going
like this with the brush. We're trying to make
flatter shapes, not going and dabbing
the color on. This is a different type
of painting technique. A more interesting one,
creating flatter surfaces. Now, focusing on
making the colors. You've added a lot of
complexity and a lot of small shapes with this
color and other colors. So you might need to create some bigger shapes like this
to add a bit of calmness. Now you're focusing on the very complex areas
and calming them down and making them a bit
less intense and chaotic. Making bigger shapes so
that you calm things down. You take some of
that detail out. You go back and forth, adding detail,
taking out detail. And let's focus in on
these bigger shapes, just adding one or
two dots of paint. And let's add more yellow. Now it's almost 100% yellow. Okay. And let's find an area over here to add some of this color and over here. Maybe on this side, there's a lot of
paste in this brush. So we're trying to take it back creating some
sort of a bridge, maybe a bigger shape
over here, smaller one. Perfect. And over on this side, taking some more of
that color and adding it in the middle of the shape, as well as onto the darker
spots and in the blue, creating more complex shapes. Try to move around quite a bit, just to let your mind not focus on making the
same mark everywhere. The more you move
around, the more easy it becomes to just create
abstract shapes. Let's create sort of like a light color over
here, a light passage. And over on this side, maybe over here, where
they meet a bigger shape, and then smaller ones and
breaking this shape as well a bit more adding
some more texture. Well, not really. You don't
want to add too much texture. You want everything
to be a bit flat. But if you added some
texture, that's fine. And let's focus in
on the last spots. If we see some white, we're going to have to dab, like here and here. And over here and
maybe on this bridge. And over here, and
over on this side, there is a bit of white
just showing true and some boring areas. Okay. And this is a time
where you take a step back and you focus in
on what you've learned. You've learned how to make
big flat areas of sky. You've learned how to
play with big shapes, small shapes and medium ones. You've learned how to create natural colors and darker ones, and then let it dry and go to a lighter shade to create
texture and detail. You've learned how
to keep things abstract by not thinking
of making foliage, but by just focusing on the
white spots of the canvas. And you've learned how to
edit shapes and edges to create a very complex and
natural looking foliage. You've learned about colors, how to create earthy greens, dark greens and more vibrant. Speaking of color, you've also understood that to
create vibrant colors, you need a place holder, like earthy tones, darker
shades of that color that will elevate the beautiful vibrant greens that
you've created. You've also learned
that you need to let things dry before you add a different color so that you keep
the colors clean. You've learned how to
use the big brush for big areas and the small
brush for small details. Now you're going to use
the smaller finer brush to create some wonderful trees.
10. Learning how to make branches: The step, you're going to need some brown onto
the mixing plate. Let's add it over here. And a touch of red. You still have some blue. If you don't have it, you're
going to need to add it. Let's mix on the plate, some brown, some blue. And with the small flat brush, just because you want
to cover a faster, make the bigger branches first, you're going to need to
start from the bottom, maybe on this side, just so we balance
out the composition. Notice how it's very
heavy on this side. Starting the tree on this side, you need to decide what part of your composition
needs to be balanced. If it's heavier on
the right side, then you want to start the
tree on the left side. Start by making a
beautiful branch, just going over.
Take more color. You need to mix a
bit more than usual, just because you want to
have this color be opaque from the first layer so you
don't have to work too much. But you also don't
want to have a lot of texture onto your branches. That's created and add
some wiggle as you go. These edges need
to be very crisp. That's why you need to
go back and forward to the mixing plate to
add a bit more color. Now, right over here, you can add another
branch just going out. Of this tree. You can
also add a bit of water, not a lot to make it
glide a bit better, so you can move a bit faster. You can move a bit faster by just creating longer
branches and then focusing on the edge
afterwards to create that ruggedy look of the branch. Okay. And going onto the left, onto the right, actually, and creating this branch. And adding some more as you go. Imagine going and
doing the branches, these thicker branches with
a small Eady beady brush. It would take a long time. So make longer branches, extend forward, and then
going to the right side. And then you can start to focus in on the edges at this point, making them a bit thicker. And as you go further, the branches become
thinner and thinner. Let's go with this
branch towards the left and take it
out of the canvas. Perfect. Okay, and make
it thicker over here. Let's go over on this side,
creating another branch. Notice how you need to extend it quite a bit just so it
doesn't feel like a stump. But you can also make stumps, but make them purposefully. Like, make them
seem like a stump, not end like this,
which is very pointy. Okay. And going into the blue, creating a smaller, finer
branch, if that's possible. In this case, it's not,
but let's divide it. Notice how dark this
color is and how beautiful it creates
now the tree, and everything starts
to make sense, even though it was just an
abstract painting until now. Now it's foliage and sky. Let's move further with
this branch and continuing. You can also overlap
some branches. This is very important. It creates a lot of depth by overlapping the colors,
the branches, actually. I don't know why
I keep on saying colors can make this one thicker just because it's joining it
from the bottom of the tree, so it might be a bit thicker. Okay, you can add more color, more brown and start adding some runaway branches
that go on this side. And maybe some of
them they come from the lower part of the
tree. You're looking up. That's why you don't see a
lot of a lot of the Well, you don't see any of the ground. That's because you are looking up at the sky and at the tree. Let's go over this
and start creating some more branches
just going this way and this way and
maybe over here. And as you go, you can create more complexity by dividing
some of the branches. Try not to make them very
round or very broken. You need to have a variation
in between the round. Like, notice how
this is very round. Now, if you add a
straight branch, that will balance it out. So it will seem more
organic this way. Okay, at this point, we might need to change
to the other brush, but before you do that, focusing on the edges. Wherever you see a
bit of fuzziness, or the branch is too
straight or too pleasing, you can add a bit of
rugged texture to it. Okay. Let's continue
this branch. And in the next step, you will focus in on
making smaller branches with the thinner rounder
brush, with the liner brush. Let's clean this brush and go in and make some of
the thinner ones.
11. Thin branches Thank you: Okay. So for this step, a good rule is to add a
bit of water to the paint. You can use just brown
with a bit of red, just to change the color. The branches need to
have a bit of variation. You've added the blue, and now you can add
some red into it. Notice how it's a
bit more different. And this is not the thinnest liner brush just because you don't want
to go into too much detail. Thing with branches is that if you go and add a
branch over here, for instance, and if you start a branch exactly on
the opposite side, it looks like a fork, and it doesn't look too organic. So try to avoid making forks. Just put your pinky finger like this to get
more control over the brush and start by just continuing the branches further, making them thinner as you go. Take some more paint, maybe add a bit more water
just so it runs a bit better. And continue it only lets you paint for a few centimeters. So you might need to go back to the plate and add more color. Okay. And continuing this brush, this branch over here. Okay. Going and dividing it, making it a bit more opaque, and then dividing it. This one needs to be longer. Go slower to get more control. And then going to the right side with another branch and a bit higher and continuing this
one, making it longer. And over on this side, making another branch
going out of it. Now, try to find some spots where the branches feel
too long in certain areas, like, for instance, here. And a good way to think of branches is that they don't
just go out of the branch. They have a little bit of a
curve and then they go out. Okay, and continuing to brush, the branch and dividing it up, and notice how it's
too straight and long. And once you do that, you
can focus on other branches, just making them longer
and maybe dividing it, taking some more paint and adding just the end of
the beautiful branch. And maybe this one
is dividing lower on the lower side and notice
how it ends up abruptly. So we can add a bit more length to it and
a bit more to this one. Maybe it goes outside
of the canvas. Notice how long it is. We can go out with a brush mark and then go
back and create that curve. And continue it lower, divide it up and over here, and continue it
outside of the canvas. Okay, let's make this one longer and go outside
of the canvas. This one, as well, and this one. And let's make a few more, and the painting will be done. Notice how this one
is very long on the left side just because it's difficult to make
branches going this way. So let's add some
like, right over here. And let the brush wiggle a bit. Let it. If you have
a more shaky hand, that's good, it makes the branches look a
bit more organic. Okay. And on this
side, it's a bit thin, so let's add a bit of this and add another
branch just going out. Notice how this is just a stump. Let's continue it over on this side and divide
it right over here where it already has
a beautiful curve. Okay. And making it lighter.
