Nothing says lazy summer day like a big, shady oak tree with a swing, right? Use the AI watercolor tree trunks, then create beautiful leaves to sit beneath!

The first tree is lacy and mixes a lot of distinct colors. Another tree is looser with only a few areas of hard edges. And finally, a soft tree that focuses attention on the shade and the swing by letting the top edge fade out!

Thank you Sandy for this watercolour/marker pen video tutorial on how to create different trees. I found it so interesting I had to watch it a second time. I was so surprised by the use of the black and the orange in the tree canopy but it worked so when something works you don’t question it you just go with it! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us crafters. :O)
Thansk for sharing this technique with us Sandy ! Just fabulous !!! I’m a fan !!!!
It was great to watch how the trees grow under your artistic hands, thank you Sandy.
Love the beautiful trees with swings. You make it look so easy! Thank you.
So so pretty!
I love your Blog, I love the way you done the swing trees, pretty colors.
I learn such wonderful techniques from watching your videos, Sandy. Thank you!
You always inspire me! I just love these trees, and am of to watch the rest of the hop, then paint some trees! Thank you for the best inspiration!
So beautiful. Thanks for the great tutorial. Your instructions are so clear, lets see if I can make it look that easy!!
Great video! The swings give these trees a whimsical, relaxing touch. I’ll be giving this a try!
Absolutely beautiful! I love trees and am always attempting to improve my painting skills with them. The swings are appealing at this time of the year and I will definitely be adding that feature!
Sandy, watching, and listening, to you paint always make me think that I can do this too. Thank you for the inspiration.
WOW!!!
and again wow..so gorgeous!!
These were so much fun watching them coming to fruition. I am totally going to play with this idea and see what I can come up with, after all, its only paper right???(AND, no one has to see them if they don’t turn out! LOL)
These are all so beautiful Sandy. I always learn something here! Thanks.
I really enjoyed watching your video using the Art Impressions stamps. I purchased one small set and now I think I can give them a try! Thanks Sandy!
I always learn so much from your videos! This was really fun to watch… I’m going to try my hand at painting trees. I’ve tried it before, but I think I’ll be more successful after watching this video ❤️
