Painting REALISTIC Foliage for a BEAUTIFUL Landscape!

In this painting tutorial video, I walk you through the steps for how I painted this detailed Smoky Mountain landscape. Painting very realistic work takes a ton of patience and time, but the process is relatively simply. I hope this helps you understand and ease your mind a bit more when it comes to creating this type of artwork for yourself.
