I realized recently that little to none of my artwork had ANY color. This is generally fine by me, but improving as an artist means getting uncomfortable. This led me to create this simple watercolor cherry tree.
This is my first watercolor painting since middle school. It was created with some of the cheapest materials possible, which made it more difficult. The bristles of the cheap paintbrushes kept falling out onto my painting (ugh). Eventually, I ended up buying new ones before I started on the trunk of the tree. It took roughly 47 minutes to finish this painting, and I was surprised by how well it turned out.
Fine Art-Tips Watercolor Cherry Tree Tutorial
Since I hadn’t painted in years, I knew I wasn’t going just magically to create a good painting on my first try, so I looked up a tutorial of how someone would go about painting a tree in watercolor. The top result of my search for “how to paint a cherry blossom tree” on YouTube was a fairly recent video by Fine Art-Tips. I’ve been subscribed to his channel for a while now, and his tutorials are excellent for artists that are inexperienced in certain mediums (such as myself). So I watched the video, followed his “art tips”, and voila!

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100 positive. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos
It didn’t cost much, actually. It’s fairly inexpensive
