11x7.5 watercolor negative painting exercise where you draw one level of tree and branches, then another and another. Paint each succeeding level a different color to indicate depth. Here there are 5 planes from foreground to background. We learned this when we took Linda Kemp's class in Lubbock a few years back. It really teaches you how to discern depth. At the end when dry I splattered paint to suggest leaves.
