Painting Distant Watercolor Trees
Painting distant watercolor trees is a worry for a lot of newcomers to painting.
Many people say to me - "Bob, when I paint trees, they come out looking like a green lollipop on a wooden stick..." Where am I going wrong?
The good news is that it's not too difficult if you're shown what to do.
The better news is that the four video tutorials I've produced should make it easy for you to produce a tree for all occasions...
The Painting Winter Trees video is ideal for showing the basic structure of trees. The Painting Summer Trees tutorial (it's in two parts) shows them off in the full glory of their foliage.
In the video on this page, we look at the requirements for painting distant watercolor trees.
In other words, these are the trees that sit in the distant
landscape, providing the background - the 'supporting cast' if
you like - for the more important elements in your painting,
maybe a house, a figure or a river, etc.

So press the triangular 'Play' button or the big blue button above and find out how to go about painting distant watercolor trees using just three colors, two brushes and one piece of paper.
Well actually, the 'one' piece of paper isn't strictly true. I used about four to get my picture right.
Because when I got the picture right, sometimes I forgot what I was supposed to be describing and as I'd already painted it, I couldn't go back without starting the picture again...
Ahh! The trials and tribulations of a movie star...
Anyway, don't tell anyone, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Oh, and don't forget to look out for the other videos on the site. I'll be producing many more of these in the future. And if there's a subject you think ought to be included, let me know. If there's an obvious demand, I'll try to include it.
Cheers for now!
