I decided to go with abstract colours because they have more of an impact and allow you to be more free with the colours. When painting my modrock I found that it was quite hard to get an even coverage and white gaps where left over the whole of my tree, however I quite liked this effect as it gave more texture, I then coated my model in gloss to give it a shiny finish. I have decided that I am going to add some more dimension to the tree by wrapping wool around wire which I will attach around the gaps, which will eventually contain sketches.
