Adventures in Perspective

[Sumpter250]

Painting a tree is altogether different. But as S-two-fiddy metions, it is just a matter of learning the techniques. I have been doing some studying of the subject on the net. Have found ome good videos on painting trees. And I learned that when using transparent paints, you have to work from light to dark, but with opaque paints, you have to work from dark to light. Both of these techniques have their place for backdrop painting.

The up-side? ...you can paint trees on scraps of backboard material, until you feel confident enough to go to the actual backboard, and paint the final versions.......and you can try out all the different paints and techniques.
