Ready for the best kept secret on using crumbled wax paper?


( actually any glossy, not-so-absorbent paper such as magazine covers!)
Mark the main trunks of the two trees with light brown color. We can always darken them later.


Load the brush with lots of water and wash the canopy area of the first tree you are going to paint.
Use lots of water and watercolor paint to make little puddles on a plastic plate. Dip the crumbled paper into the puddles of colors and dab it gently onto the wet paper.
Keep dipping and layering...
Do the same with the pink flowering tree.
Add smaller branches!
