Finger Printed Flowering Tree
A fun project for art therapy for yourself or with children!
Have fun with it and try it during different seasons.
Try a different shape or go with more rigid lines to play around with the look of the trees.
Also, add more or less accenting shapes to the mix to play around with the results too.
Try different spacing also, depending on the size of the workable space.
Evergreen Tree Line
Evergreens are so festive and cheery to me!
I love this line of them being customizable.
Add color to be extra festive!
Watercolor Classic Tree
I love painting a watercolored tree.
Its enjoyable to play with, blending all the colors in the foliage and trunk.
Try this idea with accent marks to signify the different seasons!
More practice with color for fall and spring.

Watercolor Flowering Tree
These trees are always welcome in our house!
Once we see flowering trees flower, it means warmer weather is coming.
Sketch the whole thing very lightly in pencil, and then return with your watercolors of choice!
I think yellow flowers would also be a beautiful fit for this practice.

Trio of Trees
A simple trio of trees is an easy project for anyone to try out!
Try a different textural element in the trees for different results depending on your comfort.
Mark the page evenly to have the tree trunks spaced evenly.
Different types of Trees
This idea is a fun way to practice different types of trees in one space.
Also, this tree line would make for a cute present or homemade card.

Twirly Tree Line
Youll get the ruler back out for our twirly trees to mark the spacing evenly.
Add differently sized spirals of rings to add dimension to the trees.
Large and small will continue to give the trees more life and depth.
Add any extra detailing that works for you.
I like adding color to this one; it makes the image all the more fun!
Ive mainly added watercolor, but I think markers or colored pencils would be just as pretty.
Minimal Tree Line
Last but not least, more minimal trees, but not as bare bones.
Theres some room to play around with their greenery as well.
Series of Trees
This trick is a great way to sample drawing a handful of different trees.
Grab a straight edge and add as many baselines as youd like, and get to practicing.
This idea is an excellent way to practice sizing with a simple starting item.
Short and Tall Tree
We always love an odd coupleOscar and Felix or Mulder and Scully!
Anyways, these two are an excellent practice in drawing shapes and sizes on the same page.
Try practicing these in different sizes and shapes next to each other.
Doing this will help you with your spacing and perspective practices.
Minimalist Tree
This one is for those that always have trouble drawing leaves!
Doing the leaves minimally achieves the shape but lets you skip the rest of the form.
Add color or any small detail, or keep it as is for a sweet homemade card.

Tree Swing
A classic image to mea swing attached to a tree.
Add a playset nearby for a more fun scene.
Or add touches to showcase what season the tree is in.
Bending Tree
A field of these bending trees looks beautiful together!
Ive only shared one for the example and simplicity of sharing the image.
Let the bends go in any direction if youre drawing more than oneit makes the image more complex.
Adding some blooms would be a great addition too!
Simple and minimalfill it in a bit or keep it black and white.
This drawing would make a great gift, too.
Stick it in a frame and gift itI think itd look very sweet in a nursery or childs room.
Add as many branches as youd like!
Or add an entire row for the edge of a forest feel!
Apple Tree
Fruit trees couldnt get excluded from the list!
Draw a whole orchard or implement one of these trees into a pastoral picture youre working on.
Easy to implement anywhere!
This would make a funfall art activity for kidsof all ages!
Abstract Fallen Foliage
For an interesting perspective, but still in the woodsy spirit?
Try drawing the forest floor with all of the leaves, grasses, and fungi your heart desires!
Go in a round, drawing the specific parts throughout the space.
Once done with one item, move to the next, and so forth.
