Introduction

- To paint a tree with the watercolour is not always an easy subject
- By some blows of brush, it is necessary to give him resemblance without however falling into the “anatomical” drawing"
- From the beginning, it is necessary to learn how to include/understand its character, its form, all its characteristics who allow to distinguish it and to differentiate it from its congeneric.
- For the landscape designers, the tree is often the witness of an environment or one season, for its reasons he often uses them in many situations.

Principles

Here some useful bases for your first tests;

a / start initially by visualizing animation below

b / The theory

Tree 1
- Place the tree trunk and give him its general form by drawing its branches (widened, tightened, etc)
- To paint the branches, in manner dispersed, so that white are maintained in the middle of the foliage
- Do not forget that the base of the trunk increasingly broader and is directly integrated in the environment
- Your branches are painted while going from the interior towards outside to end in smoothness

Tree 2
- Place the foliage, by task with contribution of several pigments on the brush
- Still keep white which give a transparency and let pass the light
- Avoid closing the shape of your tree, the contour of the foliage must remain cut out

Tree 3
- Return with a darker pigment, insist on certain places of your foliage
- Finish while painting by small points to simulate the smallest sheets
- Put also contrasts in the bole, prolong at the base of the tree

Some varieties

The birch

The fir tree

The cypress

The willow

Conclusion

- to paint your tree in only one stage by applying the instructions
- If your tree is produced in only one stage, it will undoubtedly be much more spontaneous and lightweight
- At the beginning, important is that you analyze environments well, for pose your general form with the first blow of brush
- It happen to me to paint the foliage initially and to integrate the branches into it thereafter (J.Thirion)

With each one to find its technique!
