"Holiday Tree Trio"

5"x7" Watercolor on 140# Cold press Paper

Arches Bright White

For this simple little painting, 

tear painter's tape in half 

and use the strips, torn side out,  to mask the tree shapes. 

I like an uneven number of trees.  

Make the trees different widths and use different spacing between the trees.

Paint your loose background above the fence base. I used only Ultramarine blue and Burnt sienna.

Carefully peal off the tape and finish your painting.

Ultramarine Blue Birches

"Blue Birches"

5"x7" watercolor on 140# cold pressed paper

Fabriano Artistico Extra White, 100% cotton

Ultramarine Blue.  

This is for my demo tomorrow in my watercolor class at the 

YMCA Arts Center in Sunbury PA.  It is the beginning of a new 

six week session.  We start with one color - Ultramarine Blue.

I will cover flat wash, masking with painters' tape, glazing, lifting, and scraping.

We will use a 1" flat brush, a medium round brush, and a liner/rigger brush.
