A journey into Gnarlwood
Painting the trees
With all the bone finished, I was able to get started on what was one of the more time-consuming tasks – the trunks themselves. I knew I wanted a dark trunk – like a cherry tree and so I chose Wyldwood contrast. At this point I needed to be a bit careful as contrast has a tendency to run everywhere. I used a smaller brush for the roots, and then swapped out for a larger brush to do the trunk and the fiddly branches.
