Dressing up the trees and bushes!



When painting trees and bushes,it's the relationship between light and dark,between hilights and shadows that really makes a difference between a 3dimentional tree,with convincing depth,and a flat thing that would never look like a tree.

Keeping in mind that I'm not looking for things to distract from my focal point,but rather reinforcing it,I kept the tree fairly dark.I also bended it towards the the right for two major reasons.First,to take the viewer INTO the painting and second to work as a pointer to the focal point.
