Hand Painted Greetings Cards - Water Colour Paintings - Woodturning -  Woodcraft

Painting Trees the easy way:

On 'Rough' or 'Cold Pressed' watercolour paper, paint a patch of colour in the shape of a tree. I try to hold my brush flat or sideways, almost horizontal to the paper. The shape should be shiny wet but not wet enough to puddle and run. With a crumpled paper towel, lightly blot away highlights and sky holes. The longer you allow the paint to set the darker the blotted area will be.

If you blot too soon the paint will seep back into the blot. The colours of the paint you select will also determine how much they will "stain" the paper before being blotted away. Roll or turn the paper towel to keep a dry blotting area. Don't over blot. Always keep in mind that the wet paint will dry lighter. You may want to repeat this process over the same tree area to add additional texture and depth.

An alternative way of painting a simple tree can be found in the menu options above. Happy Painting!!
