Watercolor tree cut-outs are so wonderful to have on hand anytime for crafting, collage or art journals, ah yes or maybe even for a little gift tag? So friends, practice painting watercolor trees, improve their shapes a bit if need be when you cut them out, and then set aside to use in a million ways. A little garland would be very sweet in a child's room and of course you can always bring them out for Tu B'Shevat, or even glue wires or skewers to the back and use them as cake toppers, that could be amazing together with a few tiny woodland creatures! Look at photos of trees for reference, try to keep it loose and enjoy! My first trees looked more like feathers, so not to worry if it takes a while to arrive at something you like, just flip over the page and keep at it! I recommend going medium sized, maybe 6" tall or so for the first ones, and then if you arrive at some general shapes that you love, go bigger!
Trees are such a wonderful part of our world, and knowing how to paint them is a wonderful addition to your creative tool kit!
I'll admit, I didn't look at any photos for these, but next time I will. I've created these to use in a watercolor wedding count-down art journal, and for now have enough trees and need to move onto something else, but I'll come back to it, promise!
