Bill could paint with anything! Even his shoe! Today he shows you how to create beautiful fir trees using just the Palette Knife.

Key Points To Consider:

• Bill is painting on a wet canvas.
• He is using a dark color because the trees are fairly close to the viewer.
• He varies the width of the branches as he touches the canvas.
• When he scratches the tree trunk in he is removing paint which makes a path to add the trunk color back in. He just touches the canvas here and there because the trunk only shows up in a few places because the branches on the front of the tree cover the trunk.
• He is highlighting mostly on the right side of the trees.

Happy Painting!
