The trunks need to be clean with no residue from the previous colors. I used a kneaded eraser.
French Grey 10% is the first color applied to the Aspen trunks. It's a very light gray. The sun is shining in from the right side, high up in the trees, so I will darken the left side of the trunks and leave the right side white.
Branches and knots on the right side will cast shadows on the trunk.

To make the lines that encircle the trunk look three dimensional, I'm leaving a white strip above each line and I'll slowly darken the shadow beneath. It's difficult to see the progress at this point because this color is very light, but it will become more apparent as additional darker layers are added.
