    I am so glad you don’t have a Patreon account. Those who do just give off an attitude of only sharing their best secrets if you pay. And maybe that’s ok, but I think it comes across as terribly crass. So thank you for sharing your expertise here!

    You can use some raw sienna or even burnt as when bitrxh bark peals it has that tone under the bark. For the shade of curvy bark you can add payne's gray with touch of sienna under it. Go into the woods and see it yourself. But also silver birch is kind of different then regular one. It has more light cool blue to it as well and thinner bark.

    A lot harder than it looks to lay down the blue and get those trees in there, making sure to not have too much color in your brush. I think I'll get it on the third try.

  • @shelleypriorfineart

    @shelleypriorfineart

    It usually separates slightly on it’s own. I didn’t mix the colours too thoroughly on my palette either. Permanent rose on its own would be much too pink. It’s a mix but varies between being slightly more pink or blue which I like.
