Making a tree, part 2

Tree making continues. I built up the stem using some modelling clay. The branches got some modelling paste to make the wires less obvious.

Then I spray painted (rattle cans) the whole thing. First gray and then with some black. Last both the stem and the branches got a brownish wash.

Next I will add even smaller branches in the form of static grass fibres, and last the leaves clinging to the fibres.
