right so I think we've got the water
pretty much finished now I might just
have to do a little bit of work to the
waterline but we'll see let's get this
tree in here and then we should do the
bank after that we should be pretty much
ready to rock and roll
[Music]
right let's get going
I need to get a little a darkish green
nothing too dark here there might be a
bit too dark
[Music]
pretty much made that picture that tree
disappear now with the branches in and
then we'll go for the leaves so using a
rose Winco number one series 771 rigger
and I'm going to use the white spirit to
thin the paint down so that it we get a
nice sharp line I'm not going to use
liquid and use that white spirits I'll
get sharper line with that
[Music]
just using the very tip of the brush to
get this fine line here I'm not pushing
the brush down at all on the on the
panel just dragging that tip along right
that will do for the branches and twigs
let's get going on the leaves now they
are a bit brighter than the leaves
behind it and that will help to make
that look as if it's standing in front
of these trees at the back so I've just
got to make sure I keep that nice
strength and color and then brightness
[Music]
so getting these leaves really strong
over the water here they like that in
the photo anyway but just want to really
get them to stand out and I'm not doing
at the moment at least of these sort of
outside leaves I'm not really mixing any
I'm not really mixing any thinner with
it or any liquid
[Music]
so as we come in you've got the more
internal leaves here so they're not
they're not quite on the outside they're
not quite as bright so I'm use a bit
more white spirit to get it to flow and
don't have to worry about it being quite
so punchy quite so light
[Music]
you
[Music]
you
[Music]
okay right now to do the blossom and I'm
mixing obviously pertaining white and
there's a little bit of their green in
there so it's not it's not brilliant
white it's just just off white should
should be enough
to probably use a different brush
actually to try and do more of a more on
mass I use this fan brush see how that
works out
[Music]
you
[Music]
as you can see with this technique here
I'm using a fan brush but it's quite an
old fan brush and because of that you've
got a really irregular edge it's not you
know it's not very sharp like a a new
one would be and because of that you get
more of an uneven pattern of leaves law
wouldn't do the whole thing like this I
think when you get into that point where
you're near finishing the tree I think
it works quite well because it it makes
it look a little bit less regular you
don't want it to look too neat
[Music]
and also it's good if you want to just
change the color a little bit subtly
warmed that up a little bit now
[Music]
you
it's quite effective why doing it
so build the body of the tree up using
the as I did with the rigger getting so
there's a pattern of leaves you collapse
or try and give a shape and then
afterwards go over it just a little bit
not too much with an irregular pattern
like that that gives you a fairly decent
pattern of leaves and I think makes it
look a little bit more realistic
[Music]
