Flo's Fundamentals: Trees (Patreon)

This is Flo's Fundamentals! In this series I show how you can paint different fundamental subjects. Pieces of the puzzle you can use in your digital paintings. In this sixth class we'll be diving into the subject of trees!

In the first part of the video, I'll talk about the theory. What are the characteristics of trees? What do they all have in common?  Every tree has a trunk and a 'crown', looking at these  basic elements, we can simplify the matter for ourselves.

In the second part of the video, I'll be doing a demonstration and show you how I approach painting trees. I've attached the study file, you can use it to both check my work up close and to make your own study. 

I would also recommend checking out my Pinterest board with tree reference images. Try making studies from different reference images to improve your tree painting skills! And if you ever struggle or have questions, please feel free to reach out. I'm here to help!

I mostly used the Flotastic brush set, you can get it through this post if you haven't  already.

The next Flo's Fundamentals will be about painting Feathers and Scales!
