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!
