Painting trees isn't hard. You are approaching it wrong!

Many painters approach painting trees by copying photos too literally—dabbing the brush over and over to mimic every leaf. The result? Stiff, overworked trees that lack movement and personality. In this loose watercolor tree painting tutorial, I’ll show you a fresh way to approach trees using a simple 3-step formula that works under any circumstances. With this method, you’ll learn how to paint watercolor trees that look natural, dynamic, and expressive—without getting stuck in the details. This approach works because it teaches you the universal visual patterns of trees—freeing you from relying on any single photo reference while vividly conveying the species and movement of the trees. Even more importantly, you’ll discover the often-overlooked key to loose watercolor painting: choosing the right brushstrokes to suggest foliage, light, and movement with ease. Whether you’re a beginner watercolor artist or looking to loosen up your painting style, this tutorial will help you: Paint trees that feel alive and full of character -Simplify complex shapes into clear, expressive forms Avoid the overworked look and bring freshness to your watercolor landscapes Let's get cracking and paint some beautiful trees in landscape! -- More about me: Ina Xi is an award-winning painter and art educator based in the Pacific Northwest, whose work explores the themes of nostalgia, cultural diversity and collective human experiences.
