Fearless Friday, Holiday Trees
It’s been a busy week at The Painted Apron,
and my birthday is tomorrow…
so I am taking the day off
and reposting this fun and fearless way
anyone can create 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 lots of possibilities!
Be Fearless!

Thanks Ricki Jill, fun little doodles!
Happy Birthday, Bama! Love the trees! But most importantly you included one of the best words in the English language–IMAGINATION, one of my faves. Here’s a quote from Einstein:
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create.” – Albert Einstein
And I now know what we have in common–December birthdays–mine is the 12th. Live it up have a great day today and for all of December! Georgia Gal
Happy Birthday to you too Georgia Gal! Love the Einstein quote, thank you! Have a wonderful birthday! 🎈🎈🎈
