Fall Tree in Acrylics
Notice that autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I'm more of a Spring person because Autumn makes me restless. It's mainly because most of the tough days I have seen in life came in Autumn so I don't know how and when I started dreading those chilly and quiet days.
With each passing year, I try to embrace this time of the year and hope for it to be better than it had been in the past.
It's #creative-sunday and middle of October. It would have been unfair if I hadn't chosen Fall for today's theme.
Today's art is beautiful yet extremely simple. A complete art-noob can also create it. In my opinion, art doesn't has to be complicated but creative.
I made a simple fall tree which has turned all yellowish and is shedding as well. Under the tree, there's a sign board indicating "woods" which looks spooky to me.
So let's see how I created this simple art.
Materials Required
- Sketchbook / Canvas
- Acrylic Paints
- Burnt Umber
- Yellow ochre
- Yellow pale
- Lemon Yellow
- Q-tips
Process
I painted the whole paper Black with a flat brush. I will tell the reason of choosing black later.
Then I cleaned the brush and used Burnt Umber shade to make sketch of tree's trunk and branches.

I took the same shade and painted the tree. Refined the branches and base as well.

Now it's time to move towards the leaves. Since I chose the fall theme, so I'm not going to use the green color. Instead I am going to use warm shades of yellow which will pop on black background.
Another twist is that I'm not going to use a paint brush to draw leaves. I will be using q-tips instead.

I squeezed out three different kinds of Yellow. Held q-tips together and dabbed in all three shades. Then I dabbed along the branches of tree. You can see the result above.
When the branches were all filled, I dabbed with the same motion under the tree to give an effect of fallen leaves.
Under the tree I added a sign board with same burnt umber shade and wrote "WOODS" on it with a thin round brush of size 2.
And it's all done. How simple was that?
Tell me how you like it and what's your favourite season?

How. How do you guys do this? I’m struggling with shading my not so great sketches and you guys are out here creating masterpieces from just paint.
Thank you. I would love to be able to help you but I must tell you that I am no professional. I am self-learning.
Thank you @prayzz. I am pleased to know that I was missed. I couldn't create something last Sunday that's why you didn't see me. However, I really make an effort to be consistent as I love this little project by Hive Learners. Nowadays it's difficult to pursue one's hobbies but this project keeps me motivated. (:
Haha. It's an overstatement my friend. This is in no way a masterpiece considering how easy it. XD
You can easily make it and you will feel very artistic, trust me. XD
That's good to hear @event-horizon ..Welcome back 🙂.
Alright, but still you are way better off than a starter like me. Do have a wonderful day
Wow you make this😳. It’s so beautiful and I wish I could make same too.
You can easily make it too by following this post. 🌼
