Tree and branch techniques

3 Comments

Bill paints a “dead” tree to show you special tree trunk and branch techniques. In this nearly five minute instructional clip, Bill shows you how to use the palette knife and fan brush to create and highlight a tree trunk. He also demonstrates two types of tree branch techniques using the fan brush and the script liner brush. There is a lot of valuable technique packed into this video clip so make sure you watch it a couple of times to learn everything Bill is teaching. Learn more techniques in our free “Paint with Bill” art course.
