@darlene.paints: Birch trees are one of my favorite trees. I love how the bark looks on them—and it turns out they are really fun to paint. Today I am using a technique where you put paint on a scrap of paper and use it to create the birch bark. The colors were beautiful as we drove yesterday. We had a big thunderstorm last night and lots of the leaves came down…but I think we will still have a couple more colorful weeks. I love fall, but let’s be honest, I’m not ready for the season that comes next! #watercolorartist #watercolor #watercolortechniques #watercolorpaintings #fall
