Step 12: The Hedge

The second stage of your hedge can now be completed. First, using Paynes Grey, create a branch structure that radiates out from left to right, and, as you create these branches, imagine them going inside the foliage. In other words, break your line allowing some space for foliage to be placed, and then continue on with your line, making sure you stop before the top of your hedge.
Remember, branches start out thick and go thinner.
