"Ok, now use Payne?s gray, and a little bit of this green together, and put in a little cobalt blue, and put in some evergreen trees. Now the back of the evergreen tree is right up against the house so we're going to have to do the straightest vertical line that we can handle. Then we're going to put another tree with the same color over here. Leave some tiny little random shape holes through the trees. It makes it more interesting that way, I've discovered. This tree is not nearly dense enough, so we're going to have to hit it with another layer of paint."
