Watercolor Pencils: Maple Tree Painting

 

Watercolor Pencil Painting: Maple Tree

Maple Tree, Watercolor #paintacadamy tutorial youtube

I am really enjoying my watercolor pencils.  I drew/painted these maple trees, once with my AGPTEK set, and the second time with the Artist's Loft set.  

The first time, I did a pencil sketch first, and the second time I just used the watercolor pencils.  The first time I just used one red pencil crayon for the leaves, and a few browns and black for the trunk, and two greens and brown and black for the base.  The second time I used two reds and two oranges for the tree and blended the colors.   I like the trunk on the first tree better.  

The cheaper Artist's Loft pencils did just as good a job as the more expensive (but still budget) AGPTEK set.
