In this third installment of painting backdrops, Jay Smith tackles the treetops and sun highlights in the foreground. He also shows you how to paint simple “hero” trees, those that have trunks and branches as well as leaves.

  1. Jay, you're doing a great job. These videos are very informative and relaxing… I better get back to work!

  2. Very nice! Its fun to watch an artist coax an image out of paint. This made me want to get out and start a backdrop on my layout, which is not nearly ready for any backdrop yet.
