A quick guide showing how I paint desert plants. This recipe has been pulled directly from my "Desert Bases" guide also available on this site, if you were interested in the sand and rocks pictured.

  1. Basecoat with Loren Forest .
  2. Wash with Coelia Greenshade .
  3. Drybrush with Straken Green , to bring out the raised details.
  4. Lightly drybrush from a downward 45 degree angle with a mix of Straken Green and Ice Yellow (or Dorn Yellow ).
  5. Add very small/specular highlights with pure Ice Yellow .
