It’s interesting to note how trees and other plants really start to look 3D when values of high contrast are played against one another. I like your first demo,(on the left, 10th image from the top). It demonstrates how well it works to put black and other extreme darks in among the leaves of a tree, or other plant, to make them “pop”.

This reminds me of my basic landscape drawing classes from high school. Simplifying the shape of an object is always key to getting it down on paper or modeled on your computer. This post is a great refresher for guys like me, thanks!

Thanks for the lesson. It really helped. I’m taking a landscape/nautre painting course and this really helped. Do you often use photos to help with your paintings?
