Birch Trees By Request! Let’s Paint!

Hi friends! Last month I shared an ink and wash drawing of birch trees I did in my sketchbook and I had several requests to do a tutorial on it.

So I filmed a real-time lesson for you. I made a different choice for the background so now you have two options for how to paint it. You can watch the full lesson in the player below.

Supplies: (affiliate links used)

• The sketchbook version was done with the Viviva folio kit, I used the pen, paper, water brush, and color sheets for my sketchbook version. Really, all you need is in the kit

• In the video, I used Micador watercolors. *Inktense would work well too, or the Viviva color sheets (honesty, any watercolor will work!)

• Watercolor greeting cards

• Tombow Fudenosuke pen (great deal, 3 pack!)

• Watercolor brushes (these new synthetic travel quills are lovely!)

• (optional) White gel pen or White paint pen

This was fun to paint and I encourage you to give it a try, especially on a greeting card so you can mail it to a friend! Happy crafting!
