There’s something about deciduous trees in winter that makes them perfect for artists. Maybe it’s because the trees stand there, proudly naked, like life models. I often capture their outstretched limbs on film — especially when it has snowed — and this simple painting craft, suitable for all ages, evokes that same feeling.
Winter Birch Trees at Wee Folk Art uses painters’ tape, watercolour paints, kosher salt, and a little patience to make beautiful winter scenes. They could easily be adapted to make cards, too! Follow the step-by-step, illustrated instructions at Wee Folk Art.
