I cannot stress to you enough how grateful I am for your tutorials.

I'd be very interested in a video on what types of brush strokes and marks you use for foliage and other landscape scenes! I think the hardest part for me when painting trees and bushes is that I'm unsure of what brush to use and what small shapes I should be making to make the foliage look convincing.

Im a dabbler, never really got technique down or could sit still long enough to do more than a single layer on a painting. I’m on my second pink tree, and I’ve been watching your videos and I’m feeling a bit more confident. Thank you so much for these tutorials!

-Think silhouette
-Determine where your light source(s) is/are situated --> don't forget trunk!
-Go back to your lighter tone and add some texture --> don't forget trunk!
- *wait for the previous layer to dry* unless you're looking for a muddy texture
- Gradually change your paint color while you put it on the canvas to add some color variation
