Monochromatic Acrylic Trees (Tutorial)

Painted Acrylic Evergreen Trees

This relatively easy acrylic paint tutorial combines sketch and acrylic paint techniques to create the effect of a snow-covered forest landscape. We call these our tree "shadows," but really the painted parts of this piece are meant to represent the parts of these evergreens left uncovered by snow after a recent snowfall. Although we chose to opt for the monochromatic look, this piece is great for adapting and making your own!

Painting and drawing are great for those who enjoy creating things to share with loved ones, for those who love to learn new skills, or even for those who want more art hanging on their walls!
