I love that a green tree can be Earth Day or Arbor Day. You can do so much with it and trees are fun to learn about.<\/p>\n
What you need for this activity<\/h2>\n\n- watercolor paper<\/a>

\n<\/div>\nHow we did this watercolor painting<\/h2>\n
First, we always start off by drawing our trees in pencil. This gives us an idea of how we want to make our tree. Plus you can always erase the pencil.<\/p>\n
![\"Watercolor](\"\/images\/blog\/4-2019\/watercolorgreentree2.jpg\")
\n<\/div>\nThen we outlined our tree in oil pastels. You want to make sure you outline the whole tree. This includes the area on the trunk at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n
![\"Watercolor](\"\/images\/blog\/4-2019\/watercolorgreentree3.jpg\")
\n<\/div>\nYou fill the area of the tree with water. You want to have it make a little bit of a bubble. We always keep one bowl of just water and the clean brush to put the water on the paper. <\/p>\n
![\"Watercolor](\"\/images\/blog\/4-2019\/watercolorgreentree4.jpg\")
\n<\/div>\nThen you put watercolor on your brush and dip it into the water. it is fun to watch the color spread around the paper. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\nIf the paper starts to curl you can use items to keep it flat.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\nAfter we had the tree painted, we did normal painting for the sky and tree. It was fun to make the two types of painting activities.<\/p>\n
