6. Thank you! It was hard working with so much green. I tend to use convenience

mixes like green gold and sap, and then lean them warm or cool. So there was a lot of leaning going on. The center tree, though, I mixed myself to get the right coolness. And the shadows, well, I’ve been trying to work in larger shapes, so I did the stairs and bricks under the tree all at once. Super darks are tricky. Even with stains they are really thick, and boy do they lift easily if you bump them with a wet brush.
