Sponging Watercolor Trees With Masking - Beyond the Basics

Sponging is Good. Sponging with masking is Great!

Sponging is quick, easy and effective for watercolor trees and landscapes. Even beginners can get good results.

Sponging with masking is almost as easy, and will give you Great results!

In this lesson, you'll learn the steps for using masking with sponging to bring your landscapes and trees to life.

You'll have two options, paint a tall vertical outline so you can practice on the whole tree, or paint the close up, with less tree. Each outline contains the stylish figure and instructions on rain and reflections on wet streets.

If you already know how to sponge watercolor foliage, this is an excellent addition to your watercolor skills.

Hi, I'm Deb Watson.

My story is simple. I loved creating art from childhood, but was discouraged from pursuing art by my parents. So, I became a nurse, but kept painting.

I knew nothing about art, but taught myself over time and became a very successful artist, with hundreds of awards. Although my art and how to paint techniques are well known (in over a dozen books and online), I'm just a down to earth person.

I've always enjoyed teaching others how to paint with watercolor - sharing the joy!

Join me in your own personal journey into painting. My online lessons and zoom classes will teach you how to see and paint like an artist. No matter what your favorite subject is, you'll find it here - or email me your suggestions and I'll include a class in the future.

Happy Painting.
