Plants are a good staple model to put in any level. They can be dotted almost anywhere and add a bit of variety to a scene.
1. Start with a good old clay sausage. Make it the length of your desired plant. Taper the end by rolling it a bit more than the rest of your sausage. Repeat the process with smaller sausages of clay to make your branches.
2. Flatten out another chunk of clay to cut your leaves out of. This isn’t the only way to make leaves but I find it is the easiest way to make three pronged leaves . Cut your leaf shape into the clay, making sure you cut all the way through.
