Shrubs and bushes might look simple, but capturing them convincingly can transform your sketches. In this tutorial, we’ll explore three different approaches to drawing and painting greenery, depending on how near or far it is in your scene.

You’ll discover how to suggest shape and texture with minimal marks, how to build up leafy volume, and how to use colour variation to show distance and atmosphere. By the end, you’ll have a toolkit of techniques to use in any landscape or urban sketch.

What you’ll learn:

  • A light-touch approach for distant shrubs and hedges

  • A method for mid-ground greenery

  • A final technique for closer foliage and bushes

  • How to use colour mixing and brushwork to suggest depth

  • Simple ways to keep greenery lively without overworking it
