1 LESSON PRESENTATION INSTRUCTIONS VALUE WATERCOLOR TREES Students will paint a realistic tree and its background using Watercolors to see the different values it makes. Time Required: 1 hour Artist: John Constable A View on The Stour near Denham (print) Samples: Find in the black K binder in the supply room. Materials: Watercolor paper, pencils Pictures of tree, paper towels Watercolor paints, brush and Dixie cups for water Drying rack Presentation: Discuss what value is. Talk about how with line you can draw a thick trunk of the tree and thin lines to make its branches. What kind of tree does this make? Fall or winter? Show them examples of spring trees. Show through time the trees leaves get bigger so the tree gets bushier. Point out how the leaves make a roundish shape on top of the trunk. Demonstrate how to use watercolors the right way. Remember you will be teaching this to kids probably for the first time so go slow and show every little detail. What water does to the paint, how to hold a brush, how to stroke a brush, how to wipe off a brush. Procedure: 1. Hand out the watercolor paper and the other supplies. Have them write their names on the back. 2. Place their tree vertically. Discuss how we want the top of the tree to fill the upper portion of our paper. Paint a blob of light green on top of your page to represent the tree top. Slowly add more color to get the darker values of the tree top. 3. Now have them paint the trunk. Remind them that you don t just see brown in the truck but red and orange. 4. Next go back to the green and paint the ground, meanwhile pointing out the horizon line should come up behind the tree trunk. 5. Finally include the sky using blue and purple values. Making sure to start out light. Add lots of water. 6. Put them on the drying rack and mount them later.

2 Trunks: Taper the width of the trunk from bottom to top, as well as branches and twigs. For more character, paint trunks sideways in small strokes rather from top to bottom in one long stroke. Trees in dense woodland tend to be vertical; lone trees may be angled due to wind. Branches: Branches aren't straight, aren't the same width throughout, and don't grow parallel to each other. Avoid putting branches opposite each other on a tree trunk; trees aren't symmetrical unless they've been pruned that way. Make branches cross over each other to create depth. Add appropriate shadows. Leave gaps in the foliage and show branches in the gaps.

6 Painting Trees by "Blotting" Highlights with a Paper Towel On 'Rough' or 'Cold Pressed' watercolor paper, paint a patch of color in the shape of a tree. I try to hold my brush flat or sideways, almost horizontal to the paper. The shape should be shiny wet but not wet enough to puddle and run. With a crumpled paper towel, lightly blot away highlights and sky holes. The longer you allow the paint to set the darker the blotted area will be. If you blot too soon the paint will seep back into the blot. The colors of the paint you select will also determine how much they will "stain" the paper before being blotted away. Roll or turn the paper towel to keep a dry blotting area. Don't over blot. Always keep in mind that the wet paint will dry lighter. You may want to repeat this process over the same tree area to add additional texture and depth. When the paint is dry, add some darker areas under the bough above the blots as shown. Dry again. Tree #1 Painted with a flat brush. Tree #2 was painted with a round brush. Susie Short Studio LLC All Rights Reserved. Permission to print for personal study. Now, the most technical part is to add the branches, Paint the limbs and branches in the darker areas of the tree and across the sky holes. Leave the lighter areas for the leaves closest to the viewer. If the trunk gets too dark. Blot with your paper towel. This adds great bark and texture.

7

8 Keeping the trunk lighter at the bottom will allow you to paint in grasses or pretty flowers at the base of the tree. Try painting several of these trees using various green mixtures. Its interesting to see which will blot away and leave color behind. Enjoy painting! Keep those brushes wet!
