Step 2:  Using lead pencil, sepia fine-tipped marker and regular black
inked writing pen, the branches were drawn on top of the painting.
Step 3:  Acrylics were incorporated to change the location in space
of the shapes of the foliage and branches, some shapes came forward and
others pushed back.  More sepia marker and gold roller gel pen was added.
Step 4:  Final adjustments were made in colors, shapes and value using
acrylics, sepia marker and gold roller pen to bring out the 2 trees and
soften the sky so that the focus of the composition became clear.
