The tree
In developing the tree, you can see from the screenshots how the process went from
a very general statement starting on the left to a more refined version on the right. In

and shapes and merge the layer with the one below. The Dry Brush tool is used on
the final layers for getting finer details. It gives the appearance of a dry and rough
brush stroke, which is perfect for the texture of the tree, as shown in the following
