Initial thoughts

In YouTube kid’s videos they often ask “What is green and looks like a little tree?” My toddler would say “Broccoli!”

Yes. I know it looks like a little tree. But how about turn them into real size of a big tree? And not just one giant broccoli tree but a forest. A forest of giant broccoli trees.

Digital sketch

This digital sketch has several mistakes if you compare it to the finished painting. Mostly are the distance relationship between each tree. Some should be further and partially blocked by the tree in front of it. I only discover these mistakes during the actual painting process.

The dog is there as a size reference. Without the dog it is hard to say how big the trees are.

Summary

Next time I am thinking that I shall make a photograph set up with real broccoli. I can put them into standing position and find a nice sun lighting area. Then I can take some photos as reference. Maybe some Lego dude too~

The broccoli forest should be good for survivors. It would provide food, water and shelter. Someone can build a treehouse up in the branches and harvest the “little” green buds on top. 😂
