The q-tip method makes this painting very easy for everyone.

One such tool I have discovered isQ-tips (or cotton swabs)!
you’re able to then dip the group of swabs in paint and dab away at your blossoms.
you’re free to also use a single Q-tip, it will just take longer.
And you cant make a mistake here.
Dont overthink it, and just enjoy dabbing away.
Getting used to and learning to mix your paints will also help you gain more confidence with your paints.
Many beginners choose to buy the premixed tubes of colors, because they dont think they can paint mix.
Which is technically correct.
This will make your red look richer and not muddy.
I also like the consistency and pigment in Liquitex basics paints.
Even though they are a level 1 (student grade), I find these paints excellent in quality.
Although I use the Liquitex basics paints, it doesnt mean other brands arent worthwhile.
It depends on what you are comfortable spending and investing in paints and what you have access to.
That way you wont be breaking the bank, and still able to experiment with different brands/qualities paint.
And youll enjoy the process that much more.
Cherry Blossom Tree Finished Painting
Fun for Kids too!
This was a fun painting to make- and its for all painting levels.
From beginners, and beyond even kids can do this (and theyll LOVE the cotton swab part).
They ended up creating their own version of the cotton swab tree check out their creations below.
Painting is a Process…
I hope you enjoy painting this simple cherry blossom tree and have fun experimenting with the paint mixing.
And always remember: painting (and learning a new skill) is a process.
