Birch Trees Watercolor Tutorial

I have not seen many birch trees in real life, definitely not in any snow... hopefully one day.

Anyway.... I absolute love them. And they are so fun to paint doesn't matter what medium you like. They are pretty in watercolor, acrylic, gouache... etc.

I did a quick tutorial where you can either sketch with me or use my template.

My paper size is 5 x 7.

You can use tape to keep trees spaces white, or masking fluid or you can just wing it like I did. If you use tape anywhere on your paper, make sure to use a heat gun or hairdryer (warm air) before you peel the tape to avoid tearing your paper.

Supplies:

• Pencil

• Kneaded eraser

• Template or draw with me

• Tape to tape down template or to make a frame

• Watercolor paper

• Paint brushes, various sizes

• Watercolor paint

• Cup of water

• Towel
