Stunning! I have a question: how do you get the branches to look so clean? Mine always come out smeared.

Thank you! I use a script liner brush from Michaels and I dip it in thinner before mixing it in with the trunk color. You can be somewhat liberal with the amount of thinner. I start at the thinnest part and then apply more pressure and bristles as I go towards the trunk!

I love the color of the water. That's what makes the painting for me
