It's Taking Shape


This is working decent enough to continue building up the branches with the Caspia clusters. Before I get too carried away I need to finish painting all the clusters in the base green tone, add highlights, and add a touch of yellow to the mix to magnify the upper highlights.

Working these clusters is so much more enjoyable than what I had going before. The comparison just isn't there. What I am doing is making sure I don't get carried away with any stems that are too long. This would blow the whole appearance out of whack.

I've been using almost all of the little portions and even some tiny starter shoots to fill in at the branches where the stems start, the fixation points. So far this is working very well and I'm liking what I see. I'll keep at it until I've reached the fullness I'm looking for. I'll need to place this up against the shed a few times to make sure my grown directions are correct, but momentum is picking up, and that's what I want to see.


More to follow soon and thanks for watchin. Cheers, Ski.


P.S. Simon, you are correct, the minor green tones landing on the stems help the new growth appearance very well. No need to brown them out at all.
