这是一幅我花了大约两年前在长矛森林。我不是100%肯定这是一棵白杨树,但是我喜欢它的形状。这是超级高,它是唯一一个喜欢它周围。我学到的一件有趣的事情是,所有杨树是男性,所以他们不繁殖。这也许可以解释为什么它是唯一的一个。艺术的目的,我要把这个作为一个杨树。有一天在这个夏天,我将回去我的树书和确认其身份。
所以我们去这里了,这是一个简单的人,我知道你能做到。让我们油漆杨树在水彩…
步骤1:这是一个冷压水彩块6×9。使用# 2笔,轻轻勾勒出一个路线图。地方一些掩蔽流体右侧的树下,阳光将突出在树干上。让干燥的。
步骤2:湿天空使用1”平刷和干净的水。虽然天空仍是湿但不是闪亮的湿,油漆前的天空钴蓝色、工作方式下的行。当你得到超过一半路程时,油漆天空一个天蓝色。这叫做一个水彩洗。
步骤3:在后面,远处的树木油漆混合使用钴蓝色和烧棕土。的地平线,那里的树木接触地面,油漆,面积粗糙,上上下下。这就是我们的草将开始。为他们留下空间。这里和那里的背景树我还画了一些斑点的紫色混合钴蓝色和暗红。虽然这是湿的,用一把锋利的边缘和擦去一些树干。
步骤4:在中期地面使一些乾草的形状(blob)。我用黄色赭石和深褐色。
步骤5:当一切都是干燥的,拿一个装配工刷,使一些草叶的放在你的草斑点。草叶的应该比你的草色暗斑。接下来使用一些天蓝色和油漆一些雪在前台,但是不要覆盖一切,让一些白皮书显示通过。
提示:记住在用水彩作画总是最亮的颜色较深的颜色第一然后重叠去年。
步骤6:使用烧棕土和一个小圆刷,油漆主干和一些分支。记得要保持左侧使流体…太阳就在右边。
步骤7:使用一个装配工刷做薄的分支上。一些分支机构正在烧棕土和一些有钴蓝色混合在出现深色的。忠于杨树的形状与长扫略向内划上鞠躬。
步骤8最后:现在对于美味的细节!把掩蔽流体从树上和吻,躯干与阳光!首先,我画阳光与纯橙色,当仍然湿艰难的橙色与一些深褐色。金色的善良。
接下来,与钴蓝和侧面的1“平刷,油漆这些了不起的影子在地上。
最后,以一个微米钢笔和使小树枝和大纲主干(可选)。
我们已经完成了!
我认为你会很惊讶于这幅画是不困难的,如果你自己尝试一下。去吧…你可以做到!

This is a picture I took about two years ago at Spears Woods. I’m not 100% sure this is a poplar tree, but I love its shape. It’s super tall and it’s the only one like it around. One interesting thing I learned is that all planted poplar trees are male, so they do not reproduce. That may explain why it’s the only one. For artistic purposes, I’m going to refer to this as a poplar. Someday in the summer, I will go back with my tree book and confirm its identification.
So here we go, this is an easy one, I know you can do it. Let’s paint the poplar tree in watercolors…
Step 1: This is a cold press watercolor block 6×9. Using a #2 pencil, lightly sketch out a road map. Place some masking fluid on the right side of the tree where the sunlight will be highlighted on the trunk. Let dry.
Step 2: Wet the sky using a 1″ flat brush and clean water. While the sky is still wet but not shiny wet, paint the top of the sky cobalt blue, working your way down in rows. When you get more than half way down, paint the sky a cerulean blue. This is called a watercolor wash.
Step 3: In the back, paint the distant trees using a mixture of cobalt blue and burnt umber. By the horizon where the trees touch the ground, paint that area rough, going up and down. This is where our grasses will begin. Leave room for them. Here and there in the background trees I also painted a few blobs of purple by mixing cobalt blue and alizarin crimson. While this is wet, use a sharp edge and scrape out some tree trunks.
Step 4: In the mid-ground make some dried grass shapes (just blobs). I used yellow ochre and burnt sienna.
Step 5: When everything is dry, take a rigger brush and make some blades of grass on top of your grass blobs. The blades of grass should be a shade darker than your grass blobs. Next use some cerulean blue and paint some snow in the foreground, but don’t cover everything, let some white paper show through.
Tip: Remember with watercolors it’s always lightest color first then overlap with darker colors last.
Step 6: Using burnt umber and a small round brush, paint the trunk and a few branches. remember to stay to the left of the making fluid…the sun will be on the right.
Step 7: Use a rigger brush to make thin branches on top. Some branches are burnt umber and some have cobalt blue mixed in to appear darker. Stay true to the shape of the poplar with long sweeping strokes bowed slightly inward on top.
Step 8 Final: Now for the yummy details! Take the masking fluid off the tree and kiss that trunk with sunlight! First I painted the sunlight with pure orange, when still wet tough the orange with some burnt sienna. Golden goodness.
Next, with cobalt blue and the side of a 1″ flat brush, paint those terrific shadows across the ground.
Finally, take a micron pen and make smaller branches and outline the trunk (optional).
We’re done!
I think you will be really surprised at how not difficult this painting is, if you try it for yourself. Go ahead…you can do it!
Painting is like keeping a piece of nature all for yourself. Another way to have a little piece of nature is by checking out local Chicago artist, Jim Milkowski’s, Wolflake Creation – wooden treasures. I personally have a birch pencil holder (with woodpecker holes and lichen!!!!) and I LOVE it! I also have a few polished crosses that have wonderful variegated wood grains. Check out his Etsy shop!
