"Painting Trees and Foliage in Watercolour"
Page 4 of 4

Author: Marvin_Chew, Contributing Editor

Using the same stroke painting style, paint in lemon yellow mixed with vivid green. Then add stronger vivid green and sap green using wet on wet technique.

Moving towards the darker shade, mix cobalt blues and french ultramarine blue and the darkest shadows of sap green, indigo and sepia.

Finally, use dry synthetic brush to paint in the branches.
I hope you are able to follow and learn the basic techniques on how I paint trees and foliage. It's been a pleasure writing this article (my very first), and I hope you enjoy reading it. Happy painting and have fun!
