This is a  truly easy how to paint trees for beginners step-by-step giant guide. By painting each project in this article you will find that even as a new beginner to the subject of trees you can master the art of trunks and leaves.

Things to realize about painting trees. For the most part trees are thickest at the trunk near the ground as they grow up they thin and taper. Branches are thinner than the trunk or branch they are attached to. Other words the older they get the skinnier  they are. Sounds fabulous doesn't it. I have collected hear my most proven lessons for tree painting. Having taught our 250 countries to a half 1 million students I have some idea of what your beginner experience might be like.

The myth of painting trees is that it's very difficult. That's not the difficult part for New Artist's at all.

The hardest part of painting a wonderful tree  is being patient while you develop the skills to visually express a  very large internal dialogue that you and your heart  have about trees.

You may not know this but your whole life you have had experiences with trees. Many memories are wrapped up in them.It can take a minute and some practice  to get your hands and your mind Working together. I have set this up in a series of projects each was skills that will build and help you into the next. Begin at very easy projects that help us understand foundationally  what creates a tree. Then the skills and difficulty around the trees will increase. At the end of this multi week program you will find your skill sets will have grown into a mighty oak.

For a second we're gonna leave brushes out of this. One thing I have found as a beginning acrylic instructor is that as difficult as a technique might be for a new student getting over an emotional hurdle is a bigger deal. To address this I found it by removing brushes from the equation and using other unexpected materials new artists become more open minded about the possibility that they can actually accomplish their goals. 

In my painting series I like to break things down into levels of expressed difficulty I call a hoot. Most of my lesson video pages here are broken down into one hoot to hoot and three hoot difficulty. But simple let's use that system here.
