How to Paint Trees in Acrylics ?\r
Learn the basics of how to paint trees with acrylics to improve your landscape paintings\r
Step 1 : Create a tree structure\r
All trees have different branch and trunk structures, There are also many different tree trunk colors and styles depending on which type of tree you wish to paint\r
Step 2 : Add shadows and dark leaves\r
With acrylics, I find its best to work in layers - generally dark to light\r
Step 3 : Add mid-tones\r
you can either wait for the previous layer to dry or if you would like some blending ion go ahead and add a layer of lighter color\r
Step 4 : Paint hightlights\r
Most beginning artists like to overdo highlights, which can ruin the effect of light and shadow, so be careful and use sparingly. You can always add more if needed\r
Step 5: Finalize your tree\r
In this step, add the lightest accents and other flare to make it your own\r
Now that you understand the basic steps for painting a tree with acrylics, go outside, find your favorite trees and try to recreate them or add them into a new landscape painting.\r
