🍁Autumn Tree Quick Watercolor Sketch (Patreon)

A new extra tutorial has just been added to the library!

Let’s paint a bright and cozy autumn tree in this quick and easy watercolor lesson!

This simple project is perfect for beginners or for those days when you only have a few minutes to paint. We’ll build the tree canopy from just three simple circles and use loose brushstrokes to create beautiful layers of yellow, orange, and red-orange foliage.

In this lesson, you’ll practice:• Creating a tree from simple shapes• Painting loose, expressive foliage• Layering warm autumn colors• Adding shadows to create depth and volume• Painting a simple trunk and branches• Finishing your sketch with loose fineliner details and white highlights

No complicated drawing skills are needed. Grab your watercolor supplies and enjoy a relaxing little autumn painting session with me! 🍂🎨
