Easy Watercolor Doodle: Mini Trees

Hi everyone! Today I have a fun doodle for you. These were so easy and fun to paint, and it's something that you can customise to your own liking by using a few simple brush techniques. Maybe I'll even create an autumn or a spring version if you guys enjoyed this one as much as I did :p Happy painting everyone! Good luck! ^_^

Jeez why a thumbs down. If something is not for you why not just move on. Really found this helpful.

[@Nianiani]

Thank you :) I guess they have their reasons lol I'm so happy you found it useful, happy painting! ^_^

[@joanpringle-canning2834]

It's wonderful that I can revisit any of your videos. I'm trying to get myself better organized in painting. You are a very good teacher and I find joy in listening & watching you paint. I have many practice technique sketches, now to make them into cards or small hand-painted prints. Appreciate your sharing and encouragement. I've watched all your skillshare classes but am not good at posting. Continue having a wonderful journey in your art and life.🙂🙂

[@marymasten1596]

I adore your trees, you would be surprised how close you come to real trees, trunk, branches, colors!!! Carry on!!

[@Nianiani]

Thank you! Might think up of more in the future :p

[@elsagrace3893]

Where would this surprise come from? Because she has never seen a real tree before? I think maybe that was a clumsy expression of what you meant. You can do better.

[@neridadamas1649]

Wow trees. Thankyou very much for making it. Easy

[@pamketron]

Such fun trees! Love the different colors and shapes. I love trees!

[@Nianiani]

Thank you! It was definitely fun to create teehee :D

[@carolstefan7662]

I just painted six trees. I enjoyed painting them. Some better than others but practice is what I need. Thank you for all your videos. I look forward to more!

[@mskhartwatercolourwithmisu8598]

I love those trees. You made it b=very simple and pretty. Thank you for sharing.

[@Nianiani]

You are so welcome!

[@rivers.stream]

This is absolutely beautiful. It is a gift of beauty this Sunday morning. Thank you. Stay well😚😚

[@mercedesarce1504]

Than That’s really cool and cute! Thanks for sharing.

[@Nianiani]

No worriessss!!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DaraCartujano]

Nia I've been binge-watching your videos and you truly are one of the best beginner-friendly channels out there. Not only are your techniques understandable for a watercolor newbie like me, but I also know that I can achieve and recreate these paintings because of the affordable materials that you use. Thank you for continuously inspiring me to paint!

[@Nianiani]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you're enjoying the tutorials. You actually don't need too much to start watercolor painting, and I'm happy you're able to follow along to the steps ^__^ best of luck for your watercolor journey!

[@manondesrochers5729]

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Finally I think I can paint trees. Again thank you for sharing.

[@Nianiani]

Thats awesome! So happy for you!

[@TJ-kz1ul]

I am so in awe of your beautiful artwork and this channel you have created. It has become like therapy for me to quietly paint (whilst my cat is watching me) and listen to your soothing voice give easy, step-by-step instructions. I can't thank you enough! You are so talented.

[@Nianiani]

aww I'm so happy you feel that way! That was my vision when I created this channel :D

[@carolstefan7662]

Watching your video helped me through walking on my treadmill. 👍🏼. I absolutely love your paintings. If you do more trees I hope you add some red ones like the Japanese maple and crimson maple. I tried painting your stone cottage but my tree did not turn out very good. I loved the cottage! Lastly, you have a nice voice to listen to explaining what you are doing.

[@l.2869]

Thanks for another great tutorial. I love how you break down the process from start to finish. I can't get enough of yourself content. Keep up the AWSOME job!

[@ranjitaguru8357]

These are so easy to paint I always had problems in drawing tree branches and the main trunk...😅😅 But this helped me and I wanted to ask if you could make a comic strip or draw more human figures...... ☺️☺️

[@Nianiani]

Hi! Sorry I don't do figures in this channel just because it's not easy to break down as short tutorials and it's not a subject I'm comfortable with teaching. If you're interested I always refer people to Proko's channel who goes in so much detail with figure drawing :)

[@ranjitaguru8357]

Oh it's ok ☺️ and thank you for your suggestion I really appreciate it and I love you just because of this 🥰🥰

Which colour are you using?

These mini trees are great for practicing water and color control. I hope to give them a try very soon. I'll use them for the next card I make. Thank you.-- Your voice didn't really sound to different.

[@Nianiani]

That would be fun! Thank you so much for the feedback on the audio! Glad to know it's not too different :D:D

[@elsagrace3893]

When saying the list of colors you trail off at the end and I can’t understand the last color that you say. This is the second of your vids I have watched and the second time you did this. Please speak the list clearly to the end so that I am not frustrated with not knowing. 🙏🏼

[@Nianiani]

Sorry about that.. The rest of my vids are probably gna be like tht too (before you waste your time watching them).. I know I'm nt good at talking and there are many things tht I need to improve with my delivery. May I ask which part you couldn't hear clearly so I could maybe help clarify?

[@paridhijain8221]

Can anyone name these trees please?

[@Nianiani]

I can only say the yellow is ginko, and the bottom left is pine, but the rest are just make believe trees xD

[@yytyyy5329]

I'm worried about bleeding

[@Nianiani]

Which part?

[@yytyyy5329]

Like the water color going where you don't want it to go

[@Nianiani]

Oh for this you have to make sure that the load on your brush is not too heavy and dripping. Dab the access off on tissue before applying it on paper so the paint/ water doesn't puddle up on your paper. But if it does, you can also quickly take the paint of with tissue on the paper
