Tree Painting Bundle – Watercolor & Mixed Media

Take your tree painting skills to the next level with this exclusive bundle of two recorded classes, each offering a unique set of studies and a different final artwork!

Both classes cover the same essential theory and artistic approach to painting trees in watercolor and mixed media, but through different composition studies and final paintings, making this bundle perfect for those who want extra practice and deeper exploration of the subject.

What You’ll Learn: 

 Understanding Trees & Finding Composition

We begin with exploring how to paint different tree types:

• How to observe and simplify various tree trunk shapes.
• How to plan a strong composition, including the use of the golden ratio for balance and visual flow.
• Sketching and compositional planning to prepare for painting.

Tree Studies – Techniques & Practice

• Practice different types of tree trunks and how to express their volume and texture.
• Learn to use watercolor techniques, fountain pens, drawing pens, and watercolor pencils for layered, mixed media effects.
• Explore contrast, edges, line work, and color to make your trees feel natural and three-dimensional.

Final Improvisational Paintings 

• Apply everything you’ve learned in an expressive, improvisational session.
• Watch how I bring together composition, texture, and mixed media effects in real time.
• See how I stay loose and confident while still making intentional decisions.

What’s Included in the Bundle: 

• 8 Sketches & Composition Studies (4 in each class – A4 / 8x10”) – Twice the practice for refining your technique.
• 2 Different Large Artworks (A3 / 12x16”) – Apply your skills in two unique final tree paintings.
• Step-by-Step Recorded Live Classes – Unlimited access to both classes so you can learn at your own pace and revisit lessons anytime. 

This bundle is ideal for anyone who wants to practice more and strengthen their skills in painting trees using watercolor and mixed media. By working through both classes, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of tree painting and feel more confident in applying these techniques to your own artwork.

✦ Core Techniques You’ll Learn:

• Painting a variety of tree forms and textures with confidence.
• Using composition principles like the golden ratio to structure your artwork.
• Creating volume and depth using watercolor and drawing tools together.
• Developing a loose but intentional painting style.
• Making creative decisions throughout the process, from planning to finishing touches.

✦ My Teaching Approach:

I share my entire thinking and painting process step by step, so you not only see how to paint a tree—but also why I make each decision. My goal is to help you become more confident in your own process, giving you the skills and mindset to paint trees that feel personal, natural, and expressive.

✦ This Class Is Perfect For:

• Artists who want to explore trees in a more expressive, mixed-media way.
• Beginners looking for a clear and inspiring foundation.
• Intermediate painters who want to deepen their understanding of texture, volume, and design.

MATERIALS WE ARE GOING TO USE IN A CLASS: 

Paints:

Your usual watercolor paints set

Colors - complete freedom of creativity, the class is not limited to specific colors.

All the colors that I use could be replaced with others.

I would talk about and explain my general approach to colors choice and explain why it is not so important to have exactly the same colors.

However for your convenience you will find colors that I use almost in all my paintings in attached file after registration.

Brushes:

• A Hake brush with a wide soft hair for wetting the paper.
• Also your usual work kit: it is important that you have brushes that are convenient for you to work with in several sizes - both for large washes and for details
• It is advisable to have a liner brush with a small diameter and a long hair.
• It can be a classic liner or you could use Chinese calligraphy brushes of different sizes.

Paper:

• paper for sketching - you usual sketchbook or loose sheets (90-100 gsm for sketching)
• 6 sheets of watercolor paper 100% cotton cold press in size A4/ 9x12'' for quick studies and 2 larger sheets of the same paper - could be about 12x16'' /A3
