Block painting a watercolor tree
It may be early but I’ve been thinking about Christmas. I decided try another version of a block tree painting this year. Hope you enjoy seeing my process.
Happy Sunday, friends! 💚
I pulled out my stash of washi tape and blocked off a triangle tree shape. My process photos were taken in the evening as I worked so the quality is not great, sorry about that.
I used a narrow tape for the diagonal lines. What I love about the tape (besides the fact that it’s so pretty) is that it’s not too sticky and I was able to adjust the placement multiple times without damaging the paper.
I used just two colors for this painting:
Undersea green and Prussian blue
My tools used:
Round #6 brush, a cut up credit card , and a ruler
I simply wet the paper with a little clean water using diagonal strokes. I mostly painted with the credit card dragging paint in various directions. Using the brush I was able to get paint into the corners and fill in around the edges.
The final reveal after removing the tape… (the most exciting part!)
I’m pretty excited with the result. I really love the bold color and simple design. I think this will make a lovely card.
I hope you are inspired to create art and do more of what you love. Until next time, share a smile and shine on!

Sparkle Tree watercolor
Another Christmas card painting to share today.
Happy Sunday, friends! 💜
I painted my tree using a 1/2 inch flat brush. I need to remember to pick that brush up more often. 😊 I really like the purple and blue together.
Once again, I put my new gold and silver pens to the test…
Oh I just love a little sparkle! It feels like Christmas. 🎄
I hope you are inspired to create art and do more of what you love.
Until next time, share a smile and shine on!

A few Christmas Cards
I painted a few Christmas card recently. I always enjoy these fun little projects.
Happy Thursday, friends! 💚
I started with a few simple paintings. Then decided it might be nice to add a little sparkle with some ink. I found a set of pens in gold, silver, and white online. yay!
Oh, I love these new pens. The gold ink on the Christmas tree adds the perfect little touch.
I’m not sure how many cards I will get painted this year but I’ve decided to not stress about it. I am going to enjoy the process and do what I can.
I hope you are inspired to create art and do more of what you love. Until next time, share a smile and stay excellent!
