Easy Autumn Tree Watercolor Painting

用水彩画一棵秋天的树

There is something majestic about the tree colors in fall, but sadly the season doesn't last very long. Fortunately, you can preserve a little bit of autumn by painting a fall tree of your own. These watercolor principles can be used to paint trees of various shapes and sizes, and by simply changing the colors, the trees can be adjusted to reflect different seasons.

在秋天里景色因绚丽多彩的树木而分外壮观，但这样的季节常常很短暂，令人忧伤。幸运的是，你可以画一些秋天的景致，来保留这份美丽。本期教程中的水彩技法，可以用来画各种形状和大小的树木，并可以通过简单地调整颜色，来调整树木，以反应不同的季节。

Things You'll Need. 你需要的东西有：

Cold press watercolor paper 冷压水彩纸

No. 8 round brush, No. 6 round brush, No. 2/0 fine brush 8号、6号、2号或0号水彩笔

Watercolor paints 水彩颜料

Water basin 水盆

Paper towel 纸巾

prepare

Tip

Paints required for this project are: Cobalt Blue, Crimson Red, Burnt Sienna and Winsor Yellow. Prepare your palette accordingly.

提示

本教程需要的颜色有：钴蓝，宝石红，熟褐色，金黄色。提前在调色盘中调好。

Step 1

Dip your No. 8 round brush in Winsor Yellow and outline the loose shape of a tree. Use organic and loose strokes, leaving the center of the tree blank. Alternatively, you can lightly draw in the shape of a tree with pencil and then paint it using the same criteria.

第一步

用8号水彩笔蘸满金黄色颜料，松散地勾勒出树的外形。注意按树叶的肌理下松散的笔触，给树的中间预留空白区域。或者，你也可以先用铅笔轻轻地画出树的轮廓后，再按这个技法用金黄色上色。

step 1

Step 2

Mix some Winsor Yellow with Crimson Red (3:1 ratio). While the paint is still wet, paint over the inner edge of the outline and some of the white area in the center. Allow the colors to mix to create texture and movement.

第二步

按3:1的比例混合金色和红色。趁着画面还是湿的，在已画的金色内侧涂上。使得颜色互相混合打造流动的质感。

step 2

Step 3

Mix some Cobalt Blue and Burnt Sienna (1:2 ratio), and paint the outer edge of the orange and some more of the white in the center of the tree. Again, it's important to keep the lines organic and loose in order to create movement.

第三步

按1:2的比例混合钴蓝和熟褐，涂在橙色的边缘，注意继续预留中间的空白。再者，重要的是绘画的过程中，要保持树叶的笔触和松散的运笔。

step 3

Step 4

Mix more Cobalt Blue and Burnt Sienna, this time using a 1:3 ratio. Using your No. 6 round brush, paint the trunk of the tree.

第四步

按1:3的比例混合钴蓝和熟褐。用6号水彩笔，画出树干。

step 4

Step 5

While the paint is still wet, take some paper towel and "lift" away some of the paint from the center of the trunk. By "lifting" or removing some of the paint, you are creating the illusion of highlights and shadows on the tree trunk.

第五步

撑着未干，用纸巾来回擦拭树干。通过来回擦，减少一些颜料，营造一种树干高光与阴影交错的效果。

step 5 step 5

Step 6

Using your No. 2/0 fine brush and the same color as the tree trunk, paint in some small branches through the white gaps of the foliage.

第六步

用2号或0号水彩笔，蘸同样的颜色刻画树的枝干，包括透过树叶能看到的小树枝。

step 6

Step 7

Mix some Winsor Yellow, Cobalt Blue and Burnt Sienna (2:1:1 ratio) to create green. Using your No. 6 round brush, paint in some of the green paint on the right side of the tree.

第七步

按2:1:1的比例混合金色、钴蓝和熟褐，形成一种绿色。用6号水彩笔，在树干的右侧涂一些绿色。

step 7

Step 8

At this time, you can take some of the residual paint from the brush and lightly paint the ground in a loose mounded shape.

第八步

这时，用画笔蘸一些多余的颜料，轻轻画出地面。

step 8

Step 9

Dip your No. 6 round brush in the pre-mixed orange color used in Step 2 and dab it randomly onto the ground. This will serve as the fallen leaves on the ground.

第九步

用6号水彩笔蘸取第二步混合出的橙色，随机地点在地面上。视其为地上的落叶。

step 9

Step 10

Repeat Step 9, this time using Winsor Yellow. Add more shadows on the trunk if desired, using the dark green color.

第十步

用金黄色，重复第九步的动作。如果有需要，用之前混出的深绿色加深树干上的阴影。

step 10

Once dry, hang it up using some decorative washi tape for a whimsical autumn display, or frame it and incorporate it into your existing wall art.

等画干燥后，用画框进行装裱挂起来当作有浓浓秋意的装饰，或者，将其纳入现有的艺术墙上。
