If a 7 yr. old can do this, you can too!

Materials:

Black Tempera Paint

Watercolor Paints

Brush

Paper & Pencil

Corrugated Cardboard cut into  2″ x 2″ pieces ( this doesn’t have to be exact)

Newspaper

Directions:

Lightly draw lines where the birch trees will be.  The trees closer will be larger and those farther in the distance will be small. It is a good way to teach this concept.

Dip edge of cardboard in the black tempera paint. Blot it on newspaper so as not to get too much paint. Watch the video of the technique……

Birch Trees – Paint Tutorial-video

This is how my granddaughter did it.

Once you have the trees made, let them dry. Switch to water colors and add the foreground, background, leaves (depending on which season you are painting), sky, and any other things you might want to add. (an animal, animal tracks, flowers, etc.)
