congrats to you.
You may want to use graphite paper first. Draw a branch onto a large sheet of drawing paper until you have a look you are happy with. Tape the paper to the wall and lay a piece of graphite paper underneath and trace, it will give you the outline of the branch. Then paint. What a cute idea! :o)
You could also rent a projector to place a picture of the branch exactly as yo uwant it then just trace it.
The projector is a good idea - also if you want the branch to look more realistic, mix up 3 shades of paint - light, dark and medium. Blend the light color on the tops of the branch(es) and the darker underneat. Look at a branch outside and see how the sunlight hits the top making it lighter and there is a shadow under it - that's what you want to replicate.
