Fearless Friday, Festival of Trees

How many ways can you draw a holiday tree?

 

hmmm….let’s see!

 

 

So many styles and possibilities!

 

 

Fun to color too!

 

I used watercolor pencils for the mod tree, coloring it in an ombre style from light to dark and then using a waterbrush to blend

 

The traditional tree came to life with strokes of a water brush pen and blending

 

 

 

Girly Curls was colored with a fine tip marker

 

 

Even just a crude tree shape can be jazzed up with a couple layers of color

 

 

 

Or try stacks of shapes in whimsical colors

 

Use a white gel pen for accents on top of dark colors

 

 

Don’t forget circles and swirls~

 

 

Just use your imagination!

 

 

 

 

And remember even if you can only manage a stick tree, tutorial here,

 

 

There are still lots of possibilities!

 

 

Be Fearless!

    Well, Jenna, these are just too cute, but I am afraid that I might not even be able to manage a stick tree. It’s so nice to meet you and I look forward to sharing adventures with TTT’s. Happy holiday weekend!

    These are so much fun, Jenna. I love “Imagination” best! You need to draw one with tons of snow! Our power came back on about thirty minutes ago. So happy!
