How To Paint A Tree

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

Painting tress is not a difficult task. However, you do need to know where to start, and how to approach the painting if you want it to be a smooth process. I was somewhat skeptical of my tree paintings at first, and could sense that something about them was totally off. I then did what I do best, and decided to study a few tutorials on how to paint a tree. These tutorials helped me to understand the approach, and develop my painting skills. And if these tutorials proved useful for me, I’m pretty sure you too can be benefitted from them.

To paint a tree, you first need to get done working on the leaves, color the branches next, and then finally, paint your way down the tree trunk. It’s a simple top to bottom painting approach that never disappoints. Once you’re done with these basic steps, you can then go on to add necessary details and lighting effects wherever necessary.
