I encourage trial and error. Practice with a variety of paint colours, adding dark to light and light to dark. Also, try different sized brushes.
Dabbing the brush on the canvas or paper work well to add highlights or shadows.
(Using canvas allows paint to spread and mingle easier, while with paper, the paint mobility is rather limited)
Remember this Nature is not always perfect, there are bumps and twigs all over, but anything is possible!
Also...I love listening to music as I paint. For some reason when I listen to a certain song as I paint, I often feel the emotions of the music contolling the brush at the end of my hand.
Today, I listened to Rooster, by Alice in Chains.
Keep painting and feeling the groove!
