Painted Wooden Trees

Materials

  • Wooden Trees
  • Tempera Paint (green, yellow, blue, black and white)
  • Paintbrushes
  • Plastic Cups or Painting Tray
  • Tray

How To

  • Start with true green and paint one tree all the way down to the bark—use the bark as a place to hold and rotate the tree.
  • From that true green color, add some white.
  • Play around with it, always using the true green as your base color.
  • If you add a little yellow to the green, the next one add yellow and white.
  • Keep the cup of paint aligned with the tree you paint so you can know which color goes with which tree---the paint may vary as it dries. This way if you need to do a second coat, you will know which paint cup to use.
