Using round brush	Using flat brush

Course notes: Things to remember

1. Draw your tree as a sketch click here for instructions
2. Choose a large round brush for tree 1 (no.14/16)
3. We started on dry paper but used paint with a lot of water
4. Start with light green paint roughly in 3/4 shapes - don't forget to leave some white for "bird holes"
5. Allow to dry a little but not completely
6. Add darker greens on top
7. Add trunks and branches through the white spaces.
8. Now paint the tree again with a flat brush no. 8 is good - notice how the shapes are different.
9. Use your brush at different angles otherwise your tree will be a lot of horizontal lines
10. Use the same brush to paint the trunks and branches
