Learn to paint elegant birch trees using negative painting technique and masking fluid
Birch trees are such lovely and elegant residents of our forests! You can always recognize them thanks to their special black and white bark.
Today's watercolor class is all about birch trees. We will use this topic to explore negative painting techniques (for creating the trees) and working with masking fluid (to bring highlights to out artwork).
The class is beginners friendly, you can jump right in, but in case you would like to spend more time on the drawing/painting trees first, check out my classes.
Also, if you are interested in negative painting technique, I have one more on this one, too.
In this class I am going to be showing you a reference painting of the same subject in different color tones than will be used today, to illustrate how different color choices create different vibes for the same painting.
I truly hope you will enjoy the time with me in the class!
As a Class Project, we are going to paint a simple birch forest using negative painting technique. We will create a colorful background that will help our trees stand out, and then we will bring the painting to life adding few tiny details.
The masking fluid will be very useful for us to create leaves shining in the morning light.
The colors used in both paintings are listed in the video, but you can also find the picture of the swatches in the attached by the Lecture: Choosing the Color Palette.
