Art Ideas: Trees!

Scan some leaves and then put the scan in your nature journal. Easy!

I am really enjoying putting together this series of art idea posts....gives me something to do with all those wonderful Pinterest projects I am finding and pinning to my boards.

Nadene submitted this to the last Sketch Tuesday slideshow. Isn't it wonderful?

This week how about some trees!

Graphic Tree With Swirls: I can see this as a multi-media project with watercolors and pens but also you could add glitter, gel pens, or markers.

Tree Reflections Pastel Tutorial: Another great pastels project featuring fall trees from Nana and Tricia's family. 

Dot Trees: Tricia (from above) shared on Twitter this week that her daughter drew some blue leaves....how about a blue tree? Or you could go with a more traditional green, orange, or red tree with fall leaves.

Trees with birds and flowers: I could see some little girls somewhere making these trees with all their color and decoration. This looks like a marker project if ever I saw one.

Graphic Trees with Pen: To balance out all that color and cuteness of the last link, take a look at the trees in this artwork. Perfect for a pen project.
