![]() ![]() Using a light touch tamp the Wicker White onto the trees. Tamp the short edge of the scruffy brush into Wicker White, and pounce off excess paint, we want the snow to be airy and light. I have a couple of them so I switched to a dry, clean brush. Using a scruffy while it is damp tends to make a muddy mess with the paint. If you washed your scruffy brush then make sure it is very dry. I just rushed ahead and did that while the Thicket layer was drying.īut in this post I will stick to the trees and the next post will cover the painting of the barn. ![]() In the next photos, you will see the barn is base painted. In the video, you will see I did this layer with a small craft sponge and you could too if you wish. Pounce on top of the darker color going down the tree in the same manner. Load the same scruffy brush with just Thicket. Adding the Next Paint Layer to the Pine Trees It should not take long as it is a very light coat of paint. We will be adding another layer of a lighter color so this one does not need to be opaque. Don’t try to be perfect and keep this layer airy. Start narrow and widen as you descend the trunk. Gently pounce the color on creating the limbs of the pine tree. Load only the one short edge with the darkened Thicket mix. (this is where watching the video linked below will come in handy)Īfter you have the very top painted with the liner then switch to the 3/4 inch Scruffy brush. You want the top to be just a little touch and then widen as you work down. Start the very top of the pine trees with the liner, just dab some color on top in a triangular shape. Remember that black is a powerful color and will quickly overwhelm the Thicket so be cautious and add just a touch of Licorice to the Thicket. ![]() I use a small pallet knife to mix a tiny bit of Licorice into the Thicket. Thicket will be our main color but we will mix in a touch of Licorice to make it darker. We want the base color for the trees to be very dark green. Hopefully from this photo, you can see the tall straight trunks that are not branched. If you haven’t already, paint the tree trunks with Coffee Bean and a liner brush. Note: you can use whatever colors you have that are similar Paint Pine Trees The paints used in this entire painting come from this collection, Plaid Folkart 24 color kit. ![]()
