Misty Trees

For my Saturday ”new” I decided to be a little creative!

If you have never been on the site StumbleUpon.com, you are really missing out! It’s my favorite site to go onto! What it is is, you create an account, totally free of course, and then there is a huge list of lots of different types of interests to choose from. And what you do is check all the boxes that apply to you, for example I would check, Movies, Music, Photography, News, Fashion, Humor, etc. There are so many to choose! And once you’re done picking, just click on the button at the top that says “Stumble” and it takes you to different websites pertaining to the interest you have checked off. I have found some awesome sites using it! And I happen to stumble upon my new for the day!

I hit “stumble” and it took me to this video of a guy painting a picture of some like misty trees and stuff. It was kinda showing how you would go about doing it, but all sped up and it was just music playing. Well, I went on the guy’s website to see if the full tutorial was on there so maybe I could do it. But what he had me doing was, I would have to pay money to see different videos that would teach me how to do it all. I am one who definitely does not have extra money laying around. I was about to give up on it when I watched the video again and thought to myself, “I can do that.” So I did.

I decided to try and watch this video and copy everything this guy was doing. It started out pretty good, just did a pale green background thing and then I had to add trees. The trunks weren’t too bad, but then the branches were hard because I didn’t have a small enough brush to make them really precise. The trees up front I did just okay. If only I had had a smaller brush I could’ve done so much better! But I did the best I could and it didn’t turn out as bad as I thought either. Right after I finished I just thought it looked like poop and walked away for a while. But when I got back, it looked pretty good! I just needed a fresh pair of eyes.

For my first time of just copying a video, I thought I did just fine:) It could definitely be majorly improved, but I will accept it as beginner’s piece!

This is the video I got this from. I know, I know, his is way way better. Don't have such high expectations for me!

2 Kings 9:30
[ Jehu Executes Jezebel ] When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. And she painted her eyes and adorned her head and looked out of the window.
