Pro Tips
Make sure to let each layer dry completely before moving to the next step to avoid smudging.
Practice the gradient technique separately on a piece of paper to get comfortable with the application.
Use a thinner brush for more precise detailing when creating branches.
Don't hesitate to customize the colors to suit your personal style.
