Before we start painting, we do some important stuff to make your walls look really nice. Here’s what we do in simple words: : We look at your walls closely to find any lumps, holes, or rough parts. We want them to be really smooth. : If we find any rough spots, we use sandpaper to make them smooth like a marble floor. : If there are any tiny holes, we fill them up with a special material that gets hard when it dries, just like clay. After it’s dry, we use sandpaper again to make it smooth. By doing all this, we make sure your walls are ready for a fantastic paint job, and they’ll look super nice when we’re done!

Why I started painting? I’ve been asked this frequently over the years. And I think the more I continue to paint, the more difficult it gets to answer this question fully. There are a myriad of reasons why I paint. To relax. To expand. To heal. To make sense of the gibberish in my mind. To make sense of the gibberish in the world. Really when someone asks me this question, they usually want to know why I chose to make “art” my profession. And the most direct answer I can give is, I don’t want to reach my deathbed doing anything else but creating. I know it’s a little morbid, but it’s honest. You see, I lost one of my best BEST buddies suddenly a few years ago. His name was Sammy (aka Sam Jam) and he was a cheeky golden-doodle. My world turned upside down in a matter of a few seconds. That’s how fast your life can change either for good or bad. After that, I climbed into a cave and didn’t come out for a good long while. But while there I had a couple of realizations. One being that I put everything off because I believed I had this infinite amount of time. That I cared too much what others thought of me, and was afraid to go after what I wanted instead of what I believed others wanted for me. At this time, my husband and I were trying to get a business off the ground. We immediately let it die. I was also working a contract job in marketing as part of another business of ours. I quit that job too. Additionally, I was in school getting my Master’s in Psychology. I finished, but I wasn’t going to be pursuing a career in it. Pretty much I knew that I started all of these businesses thinking that one day I would have enough money and time to finally start painting again. But having my perception of reality change so drastically and instantly, I came to the belief that this way of thinking no longer worked for me. Why not start painting right then? Why not make painting your business? So broken and practically jobless and living in my husband’s parents basement, I began painting. I just followed that pursuit. There were moments where I would mark on the calendar the days I did an art thing, so I could feel productive. When I worked a job, I would come home and draw or paint. Getting off the painting path is not a desire of mine. It’s a bumpy path and the destination is unknown, but that’s what makes it exciting. “Surrender” 11in X 13in Pastel on Sanded Paper Available for purchase #moon #landscapeart #painting #night

Birch Trees Art Lesson
Share this.
Advanced Level: consult professional colour list and procedures below or change it up.
Beginners: follow outline provided using any available paint, water colour pucks, liquid paint at school, house paint or pencil crayons. You are sure to have fun but keep in mind that the results will be dependent on the quality of the materials.
This picture is a good example of what masking tape can accomplish. The trees are masked off using long pieces of masking tape of varying widths. I have not tried to be as botanically accurate as possible but, instead displayed an informal variety of trees positioned at different distances and pointing indifferent directions.
These trees have been painted with watercolours. Notes are also provided so that students can paint this picture with the liquid paint supplied at school. As always with watercolour the challenge is to keep colours/pigment as pure as possible so that they do not get ‘muddy’. The quality of the materials greatly influences your results. Artists can also, use acrylics if they prefer. You will find an outline at the end of this lesson which may be used to assist with painting birch trees. You can search Ontario Trees for lots of images and information on birch trees.

Materials
Paper:Watercolour Paper, 140 lb Bond available at local art stores or Student Grade paper depending on resources. If you wish to use acrylic paint a rectangular canvas is recommended approximately 11” x 17”.
Brushes: Small (003) and medium (06) rounds and riggers, long and thin for grasses.
Colours: Prepare your own colour chart using pictures of birch trees for reference.I have chosen complimentary colours of Purple and Yellow to provide interest in this picture. Blue and orange could just as easily been chosen. White areas such as those found on the trees will be left unpainted in watercolour to show the paper beneath and black accents using an unusual brush technique are then added to the tree. I recommend an excellent website, Paint with Watercolors as a good reference for colour mixing and techniques.
Professionals, I have included my colour chart and listed the colours I used. Permanent Rose, Windsor Violet, greys with Burnt Sienna and Ultra Marine Blue for the lake. To create leaves and grasses I used various intensities of Lemon Yellow with Sap Green. See a sample colour chart on the next page.
Paint Supplies:
- FUB; French Ultra Marine
- Cblt; Cobalt Blue
- NG; New Gambouge
- QG; Quin Gold
- LY; LemonYellow
- Grey= Burnt Sienna and FUB

How to Paint Birch Trees
Birch trees are my favourite trees, and when I first started trying to teach myself to paint with YouTube tutorials birch trees were one of my first choices. I have tried a few methods and wanted to find something that I could use in my art classes, and that I could also use if I’m working with a different grade level this year. Of all the techniques that I looked at, this one is my favourite. It’s easy to do, and most people will have the materials on hand.
To complete this art project you will need:
- paper
- watercolour paints
- scissors
- glue
- a pencil
- a ruler
- black and white paint (acrylic is preferred but tempera would work too)
I made my very first iMovie video tutorial, which I unfortunately filmed vertically… my bad, which you can watch here OR you can scroll paste for a step by step explanation with photos.
Feel free to be creative and customize this however you like. If you don’t have watercolour paints you could also make the background with acrylic paint, tempera paint, markers, or pencil crayons. Don’t use wax crayons as you will be gluing the birch trees on.
Once your background is ready, set it aside to dry.
Step Two: Outline Your Trees
Using a ruler, trace lines down your paper to make rectangles for your trees. They don’t have to be consistent sizes, but make sure you have enough width to paint the bark.
Step Three: Paint Your Bark
To create the birch tree back effect you will need to cut out a piece of cardboard. If you’re like me and have been social distancing and have ordered some items online recently you can put one of those boxes to good use.
I recommend cutting the cardboard into small pieces so that you can drag it across the tree trunks alternating from side to side for the full length of the tree.
Dip the cardboard in to black acrylic paint. You can also dip some white on there if you want. Be careful not to put too much paint on the cardboard. Less is more for this technique.
Place the cardboard paint side down on one edge of your tree trunk
and drag it across to the other side.
Alternate to the other side of the tree trunk just below where you just pulled the cardboard across and repeat. Keep doing this until the whole tree is filled. Pro tip: if you drag the cardboard at a bit of an angle your can make the tree trunk look rounder and more realistic.
If you get too much black in one spot you can dip the cardboard in some white paint and drag it back across. If the paint is still wet you will get a bit of grey, so you may want to let it dry before trying to correct it with this layering technique. I personally like a little of the grey as it looks more realistic, but I will leave this up to you.
Again, I recommend using as little paint as possible for your trees, but to give you an idea I have done these with varying amounts of paint.
Also, If you want to make branches just make an extra tree that you can cut up. I’ll get to that in a minute.
Once you have added the bark texture to all of your trees, set them aside to dry.
Step Four: Cut and Paste
When both your background and the trees are dry you can put your artwork together.
Cut out the trees following the guidelines you traced. If your paint doesn’t quite reach the edge just trim it – trees don’t grow perfectly straight in nature so if your lines are perfectly straight that’s a-ok.
If you want to add branches, all you need to do is take an extra tree and cut out small, thin rectangles and attach them to your tree.
Take your cut out trees and glue them on to your background. Place them however you’d like, leaving space in between so you can see the background and so that you can add branches if you want.
Step Five: Finishing Touches
Ta da! You’re all done. If you want to add more details, you could add some birds, leaves or any other details that you’d like.
If you want to turn this into a science project for younger grades, you could have your young artist research what birch trees look like in different seasons, and add the necessary details to show the differences between each.
If you use paper out of an artist’s pad you can trim the edges as a finishing touch. You can also put your creation in a frame, or glue it on to a larger piece of coloured paper for a nice finishing touch.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. Thanks for following along, and have fun creating!
