Everything is supposed to get grayer as it goes back. I have a really hard time applying this. I think that's why I hardly ever do landscapes; they expose how little I know!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231453420718519162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514699531408935998.post-6454313254835577052011-10-22T11:34:17.149-04:002011-10-22T11:34:17.149-04:00Oh, I love Phil's suggestions!

This will certainly make it fun to see your future ones. Maybe even try the same one again? <br /><br />Lovely post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231453420718519162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514699531408935998.post-18782357778679901582011-10-21T16:55:50.028-04:002011-10-21T16:55:50.028-04:00Good for you for trying out new ground!

Remember that trees get thinner as they go up so take the pressure off the bruh as you rise,also ,as I tell my students, "wiggle it" so the branches aren't straight.Hope this helps.<br />Phil.The Art of Phil Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04637467636239021488noreply@blogger.com
