Do the foliage before the trunk.

First do the darker foliage.

Then show a little with the sun glaring on it.

Be sure to make the grass strokes go up the hill.

Mailbox—Outline and Instructions

The last sketch in this section is a simple composition showing a rural mailbox peeking up from a mass of weeds. It is suggested that when you finish this sketch you paint the two goldenrod blossoms with yellow and orange. You will be surprised at the striking effect just a little touch of color can bring to an otherwise black-and-white sketch. Use acrylic or watercolor paints. Oils will stain the paper.

The close-up weed effect is created by showing a few weeds in full outline and then filling in between with primarily vertical grasslike strokes. Remember to keep these uniformly distributed, not bunched and patchy with lots of white in between.
