Hi Art Family!
Let’s compare what the similarities and differences in how to paint trees with watercolor paint, oil paint, and acrylic paint. Join in on the fun of this live stream and paint along with me on this easy to do tutorial which is suitable for beginner artists as well as established artists. We will discuss whey there are different paint brushes made specifically for oil colors and watercolors and why it is best to keep them separate. I will also share with you my process for selecting and mixing colors. I hope you will come back again for the next live stream.

I am a Christian and my artwork is positive message, uplifting and healing. Collectors use my paintings for meditation, calming, and healing thought.
Artist’s Statement: I am a Colorist and am known for contemporary realism focusing on botanicals and landscapes, especially ponds, flowers and skies. My sky paintings are my idea of how God created Earth with one breath. Every morning and every evening He creates a new sky for us.
I employ vigorous brushwork and texture through the palette knife in my work so that people may experience along with me the “feel” of the painting. I find mosaics fascinating how the individual pieces all contribute to the whole- I want my paintings to have a similar idea where overlapping petals of paint all stand on their own and then contribute to the total.
My work known as “Daubism” is created using a palette knife where each stroke of color is isolated from the others. Most paintings will have hundreds of different colors, these colors are all individually hand-mixed from a limited set of colors creating unique colors which relate to one another. I am striving for a sensual, tactile surface in paint.”
I am an American artist whose bold contemporary paintings focus on joyful use of color, texture and movement, creating a low relief effect in paint- a hybrid between low relief sculpture, mosaic, and traditional painting. Two of my paintings are in the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art’s permanent collection. My originals and commissioned work are available exclusively through the fine art galleries across the US who represent my original and commissioned work.

So much fun hanging with you while you paint. Had a ball. See you next time.
Dena, your trees are very interesting and are painted in a manner that is well explained as you worked them. You are very good at teaching the painting process in great detail. Your explanation with interesting additional facts makes for a good video. Keep up the great work, I know that you are loving it.
Lots of good information. Keep it up.
I never really mixed colors untill I started painting with acrylics, that was me calling on the phone to wish you merry Christmas but you kept hanging up on me. Hehe😀
