Watercolor Tree

Photo Details

Poster: CAKath

Worked on this tree over a couple of days. It has a few green layers, light to dark and silvery shimmer paints on the branch tips. I also splattered white paint over all before adding the gems. The die cut sentiment in silver allowed me to show off the entire tree.

Thanks for looking.

Oooo my - is this ever pretty! I love all the depth you've achieved. The silver is a nice addition, reminiscent of the silver tinsel my mom always wanted on the tree when I was little - and I haaaattted to pick out of the branches and off the carpet thereafter. hehe

Thank you so much for sharing!

I Love the silver splatters and red gems, Kathy! The shiny silver on the tree reminds me of tinsel. What a Beauty~

Oh, great job designing your own tree with paints. I love it and the silver metallic looks great. The red gems/ornaments look fabulous and love the traditional colors. Love the large sentiment which was just perfect for this tree.

Beautiful tree with your wispy brush strokes! Great depth with the various shades. The silver adds a nice festive touch. I had to smile when Chrissy mentioned tinsel. Tfs
