Tools Required:

  • Big oval brush
  • Fine liner brush
  • Small round brush
  • Pallet knife
  • 12X14″ Canvas

Step 1: Preparing the Canvas
Begin by placing your canvas on the easel or a table, setting the stage for the tranquil beauty of a lake nestled within a captivating black and white landscape. Imagine the scenery before you as you prepare to bring it to life on canvas.

Step 2: Laying the Foundation
Using a big oval brush loaded with titanium white paint, paint the sky with horizontal strokes at the top of the canvas, transitioning into gray tones for distant trees in the middle section, and black and white for the lake at the bottom.

Step 3: Creating the Tree
With a fine liner brush dipped in a deep blue hue, start painting a thick trunk for the majestic blue tree. Taper the brushstroke as you move upwards, crafting a lifelike form that reaches toward the sky.

Step 4: Filling the Tree with Life
Load a small round brush with varied shades of blue and white to depict branches extending from the trunk. Use short upward strokes to add movement, texture, and depth to the tree.

Step 5: Adding Leaves and Highlights
Utilize the big oval brush to add delicate leaves in shades of blue, applying gentle dabbing motions to create a lush canopy that breathes life into the tree.

Step 6: Painting the Reflection
Mirror the tree’s beauty in the tranquil lake by dragging vertical strokes downward from the tree’s branches using a clean brush. Blend the strokes for a smooth mirrored effect on the water’s surface.

Step 7: Final Touches
Enhance the black and white landscape with subtle details using a small brush and shades of gray. Depict distant trees, rocks, or hints of hills to add depth and dimension to your painting.

Step 8: Stepping Back and Admiring
Congratulations on painting a striking blue tree in a captivating landscape. Step back, admire your creation, and revel in the unique artistic expression that each stroke brings to your masterpiece.
