From the course: Digital Matte Painting: Changing a Scene From Summer to Winter
Painting the background trees
These background trees still need some additional snow, so we'll do that next. I want to keep some of the contrast that separates these trees from the foothills, so I'm not going to cover them up entirely with snow. I just want to show that the top branches are getting as much snow as you might expect. This little tree is more in the foreground, so I'm going to give it more snow. Sorry for the long silences, but in this part of the project I am repeatedly painting the same sort of thing, and although it's important to put the time in to get this looking right, there isn't much I can say about it, or more details that I can add about my process. You just need to go through and do it, wherever this landscape needs additional snow. Again, since this is in real time, there will be some sections with just extended painting. I'm going to use that Foliage brush again to break up the edges on this roof. And I'm going to add some more snow to the top of these shrubs to give them a little bit…
