Hello everyone,
In today's video we'll be going over a few trees I've been painting using the wet into wet technique and the dry brushing technique. I absolutely LOVE the dry brush effect on some of the trees and hope you give it a try. Remember that dry brushing can be a bit rough on your brushes, so keep that in mind. This is part one of my tree series. Stay tuned for part 2! Be sure to like and subscribe for more videos like this. Until next time. take care my friends. :)
