How to Paint a Tree with watercolor

Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below

Step 1.

Start by painting the foliage of the right half using Olive green.

Step 2

Continue working with the foliage. Note that some white areas are retained on the paper. Paint from top to bottom and from right to left.

Step 3

For the left shadow, add a little Hooker’s Green and Cadmium Orange to the previous mix.

Step 4

Finish off the dark left side wet on wet, and with a few small punctuated strokes that suggest small shadows between the leaves.

Step 5

Continue painting the trunk with Sepia

Step 6

Paint the shade of the trunk with a mixture of Burnt sienna and Sepia

Step 7

Paint the trunk and add some branches below the foliage.

Step 8

Paint some branches between the leaves all over the tree. Finish the job by perfecting the form of the leaves on the left; then, add small green spots all over the top of the tree to represent areas of light and shadow.
