  •  To paint a simple tree, begin with the trunk. I used a #0 liner brush to achieve an elegant tree trunk. To ensure smooth paint application, add enough water to your acrylic paint.
  •  When painting the tree foliage, create a few shades of yellow or any other color you prefer, starting with the darkest shade. If you want to lighten any of your hues, add white paint.
  •  Remember to keep some of the dark shades visible. This provides your tree with a three-dimensional form and shape.
