Painting a Leafy Tree With Captured Dab Brushes

 
 

This leafy tree was painted with just a few brushes. the Captured Dab from SA RWC Raw Dry Flower Parts. The Method was changed to a Digital Watercolour brush. 

 
 
 

 
 

Brushes with Captured Dab shapes make painting leafy areas of trees lots of fun!

 
I used a couple of captured dabs in this. I changed them to digital watercolours first because I planned to use the DWC WIW Blender to blend colours and vary edges. As I mentioned earlier change your size, angle, squeeze, colours from hue to gradients as you are going along. You don’t want to have too many of your shapes look the same.

This view is after some blending has been done, and has the digital square pool blender layer turned off.

 

There are many Captured dab shapes among Skip Allen’s and Karen Bonaker’s Custom Brush Sets. Experiment with them. Learn how to make your own!
