I thought I would try another attempt at painting this
scene, but this time I included a portion of the creek at the bottom of
the painting. I tried the technique of painting the background first and
then painting the branches over it. The idea is that the background
will look like it's painted spontaneously because I won't have to avoid
going around the branches. The problem is that this only works if you
don't make adjustments to the background after the branches and the
leaves are painted, which rarely happens.
