Hi Anthony,

Correct. First the shrub is dipped into the paint.
After letting it drip out, it's sprinkled with a mixture of grits from the model train shop.
Turpentine paint is thinner than latex/wall paint and good to dilute (with turpentine). It keeps the details of the branches better visible after the dipping and prevents clumping of the whole shrub.

I am talking about "wall paint", as you can see under the second photo of my copper wire trees.
