| Wet the paper with clear water from the base tree line to about 1 inch above the required height of the trees. Apply the Burnt Umber using a small brush so that you can manipulate the paint to produce the shapes of the trees. The edges will be soft as we are applying the paint wet into wet. Then using our slightly thicker mix of darkened Burnt Umber, paint in several tree trunks and several randomly placed branches. |  |

 | Using a mix of Burnt Umber, paint in the front edge of the bank and also darken the base of the trees. |
