The trees are in relief. They are are made from rolled strips of paper towel that have been twisted and glued with a watered glue mixture onto a gessoed canvas. The thinner branches were made with thin cord. The entire canvas was then painted black and then with varying shades of blue/gray. The trees were then sponged white and the recesses shaded with brown. The moon was dry brushed with a luminous dove gray.
This is my first attempt at trees. I have a ways to go if I'm aiming at realism but for an impressionistic view I think I got the idea across at least. I enjoyed trying, at any rate.
