The Y Rule
Master the foundational "bones" of the Oak. Learn the structural logic that ensures your trees never feel flat or weak again.
Instructor Support
Connect with Karen for guidance. She'll help you perceive the "structural character" of the wood, ensuring your success.
Why do your trees feel... flat?
Most digital artists try to "draw" the outline of a tree. But a grand Oak isn't a shape—it's a sculpture.
We teach you how to see the weight, the history, and the structural character of the wood. You'll stop painting "symbols" of trees and start creating gnarled, sturdy characters that feel like they've stood for centuries.
