Hello everyone,
In today's video I'll be showing you how I achieve a layered pine tree landscape. Pine trees are my favorite subject to paint, so I'm quite excited to be sharing more tree landscapes. With many layers of greens, I'm sure your paintings will turn out stunning, and having those PNW vibes we see in photographs. :)
Happy painting!
Jackie
