Birches in Autumn



I give watercolor instructions so I am always looking for new ideas to present to my class.   Using India ink to paint freehand on the paper before adding color is a way to create easily and yet have the necessary values that makes artwork so interesting.  Birch trees by nature of the fact that they are mostly black and white were the perfect subject for this lesson. Color for the autumn leaves was sponged on after the inkwork was completed.  Easy and fun!
