Blossoming trees are a gorgeous sight in Spring! Living near tons of hilly orchards gives me great joy. I want to share this little mountain orchard with you.
Today we revisited a painting project we made last Fall and modified it for Spring. I have to thank That Artist Woman for her inspiration. We simply took 3 steps to creating these trees:
- To paint the background, we mixed a little water with acrylic paints in Spring colors, and let our hands guide us in filling the page with a splash of color. We let this dry.
- To paint the tree, we mixed some water and some brown and black acrylic paint. Starting from the bottom, we guided the paint by blowing through a straw to form the trunk and then the branches. We let this layer dry.
- To paint the blossoms, I mixed a little red, a touch of blue, and white acrylic paints together. We blotched the blossoms. And that is all there is to it!
