5 Different Ways To Paint An Evergreen Tree

[@Jokerenn1]

I am learning so much from your tutorials, thanks a million. Don't ever stop, please .......

[@annsmith4739]

Emma it’s 6am in uk watching,they are really realistic thank you Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄

Evergreen trees are my nemesis and I’m from Canada, so it’s like I’m some sort of grinchy anti-lumberjack or something else mean! I think this will be my winter goal… to get comfortable with painting evergreen trees. Every time I see you do it, you make me believe I can… so I’m just going to fill up pages and pages with these trees. It’s muscle memory that will make it happen, I guess. BTW, I lived in Yellowknife for over a decade and trees are pretty scruffy and small up there (mostly jackpine) and they look just like the one you did with the upturned branches. They made awesome Charlie Brown Christmas trees if you didn’t mind freezing your digits off cutting one down!

as a forester in northern BC, I struggle with painting conifers! Mostly because I spend so much time looking at the real thing and each species has its own overall growth shape, branch character, needles and variations of green. I love how Emma has done a few variations (the second one could be a young, open grown Douglas-fir -lol), and pines are a real challenge.

[@KMercure]

@@4streegrrrl601 yeah, that would be a challenge if you know the species well! We can doooo eeeet!

[@carolmartin8781]

You have talent and your upbeat personality makes your video pleasant to watch. Thank you for showing me a new technique.

[@rebeccalogie2485]

I love evergreens but still unable to accomplish their beauty. Love your video and especially having your pallet visible. It helps so much to see how you load your brush. That is much more helpful than videos that are about loading your brush. Love your videos. Thanks so much.

[@tamilyncreations]

Man, they look so real! I just want to walk right into your paintings! Thank you so much Emma. You make it seem so easy!

[@feeeny]

This was so incredibly helpful! I really appreciate you, Emma! Thank you so much. You’re such a wonderful teacher. ❤

[@melissakaul243]

i agree shes a wonderful teacher

[@morphinegirl3446]

Love these!!!!! 🎄

[@jeanne-marie8196]

Thanks!

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Thank you so much!!

[@sheilad83]

Absolutely helpful! I've struggled so long trying to paint winter trees for Christmas trees! Thank you Emma for sharing your passion! Love you from Alabama! ❤

[@pennywheeler2598]

They are all really nice but I especially like #2 when you went back over it. 🎨

[@janerimer6475]

I love your tutorials. Thanks especially for the acknowledgment of our different styles

[@kaoruwinky]

Thank you so much! I’m a high school student and I have a talent show art competition in 2 weeks. I was practicing with watercolors as I think it may be the easiest but, I forgot to draw trees and now I’m here. This is just what I needed simple trees in the matters of minutes. Thank you very much again❤

[@roberth5767]

Good luck!

[@FreshEclecticism]

Yes more trees please! BTW I just received your brush set, and they are my favorites BY FAR. Not only are they stunning to look at, they hold SO much water and pigment and come to the tiniest point…and have excellent “snap”. I just love them, wish I had bought them long ago.👍

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

Wow they’re awesome looking. Reminds me of the 1: Bald Cypress or Redwood, 2: Blue Spruce, 3: Eastern Cedar, 4: Balsam Fir & 5: Pine, although I am not an expert. Gorgeous variety of evergreens 🌲! Thanks for sharing this wonderful fun video.

[@cosmicwolffe9757]

i loved your trees...happy trees!! my favorites are moreton bay fig & norfolk pines tc

[@charlirobinson1548]

These are PERFECT trees! Love them. Reminds me of Christmas tree hunting!!

[@oztilson]

Amazing as always. I just thought I'd drop off a note that not all evergreens are coniferous like this. Here on the west coast, we have the amazing arbutus. They're called madrona in the US. They are Canada's only broadleafed evergreen. Their bark sheds in layers all year long, and they grow in directions that even Dr Seuss couldn't have imagined. I promise if you ever get a chance to come out here, you will pee in your pants with how excited you'll be to get to paint these masters of nature. They only grow within 5 km of the ocean though, so you have to come right out to the coast. The island is covered in these trees.

[@Auroreneverland]

Seems to easy when you do it! They re really amazing! Thx from France for your videos!

[@xobriquet]

Awesome! You work so quickly and accurately! And you are spot-on about the first one…above timberline trees are more sparse- higher altitude, less oxygen, harsher conditions.

[@faiza1276]

your trees have such gotten better with time!! please paint more trees!! (evergreens are always so tricky)

[@judysteunenberg6428]

I love this tutorial, trees have been such a challenge and frustrating at times (actually most of the time). You make it look so easy but for some reason trees are so difficult. I would love more tree tutorials. Thank you Emma. I just ordered your brush set and am looking forward to using them.

[@appleknocker56]

Loving the way you show two ways to do trees! At first did the branches “even” but when looked at them no tree branches are perfect & now some are actually (sometimes) looking like real ones but see need more practice! Tyvm as they seem easy but are not! Doing that lil swipe under the trunks is a great tip!

[@eastsussexbeesandwildlife5801]

Thanks so much Emma, I have tried and tried with fir trees, they have always come out the same, and never been happy with them, I have tried your second method and they are great. Ta so much!

[@amberfreed784]

I love Painting trees as well. I can't believe how much difference adding those shadows really made. I think that's what I'm doing wrong, not adding enough/ any shadows. Thank you for another great video. I absolutely love your teaching style and I usually learn something new each video.

[@lisamr40]

Honestly, trees are one of my downfalls. I don't know why but they never look real. Thanks for teaching us Several ways to do different styles.

[@jodymbmw3460]

My feelings exactly. In my head before I start they seem simple and then the actual is so disappointing.

[@suzieblair8089]

@@jodymbmw3460 I agree with you ladies!

[@TheArtfulAddict]

All of them are great! TFS❤

[@monicaholmes2741]

I feel the exact same way. Looks simple, I'm inspired only to be let down as I paint.

[@donnacox519]

Great video and so easy to watch. I love how you explained every step of the way and I’m confident I can master at least one if not more of these trees!

[@charlottewoods5496]

I enjoyed this so much! Beautiful trees that I can’t wait to try!

[@rebeccanewberry3176]

Such a helpful video! I just recently realized how often I am painting evergreen trees. But they always look the same. I love how you showed us five different styles. Thanks so much!

[@Bev-ob8tm]

Beautiful. You have a great teaching style. You keep it simple and you explain what you are doing and why. Love these trees! 🎄🎄🎄

[@MarieFERMENT]

Merci beaucoup Madame. Vos explications très claires m’ont beaucoup aidée. Grand talent pédagogique. Cela m’encourage.

[@CatherineSori]

Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thanks!

[@ChristinSlade]

I love doing trees, too! I used to sit in my bedroom and draw the tree out in my backyard on my chalkboard easel over and over again. It's a little different with watercolors but no less rewarding! More trees!!! :D

[@jac4YouTube]

I think the hardest part is knowing when to quit because sometimes we just have to say good enough and walk away to keep from overthinking the details, all the trees you did are very beautiful, good job

[@jantaylor4282]

I really enjoyed watching each tree develop. It was very hard to pick a favorite and mine kept changing. In the end, I had to pick two! Numbers 2 and 5. This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I subscribed, and I am looking forward to seeing others. You are an excellent teacher and painter. Thank you so much for this video.

[@susanhodel3194]

Amazing how different they look from each other. Nice work!

[@bevsonnone1535]

Love this! Thank you for being so detailed and explaining so simply. Love your teaching style!

[@sabinekampmann3498]

I join your wonderful Video also in Germany 😊 Thank You so much

[@NaturalHealthAngel]

Thank you so much! I LOVE to paint trees and this is the BEST TREE TUTORIAL!!!!

[@manthiejoy]

You are definitely very talented. Beautiful illustration.

[@jimatkinson9126]

WOW! thanks for simplifying and avoiding the muddies

[@kim-xi1fp]

I've burned trees in wood and they turned out fantastic now I'm trying water color. Thank you! Very nice job on the trees . I live in Central Oregon ( the high desert) I'm going to attempt paint what I see here in the desert juniper trees and sage brush.

[@craftykat]

These are awesome, Emma; I could totally watch you paint more trees. I can't wait to try them.

[@eunicenield9631]

You make it look so easy. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@marycolie9913]

Tall trees look like lodge pole pine. Downward sloping branches look like Norwegian spruce. Upward sloping look like balsam. The less-detailed version looks like a Colorado blue spruce. The taller, full tree recalls the Ponderosa pine. Thanks for the lesson!

[@jeanne-marie8196]

As usual, this was so helpful for me! Enjoy your holiday! Having little guys in the house, especially this time of year, is so much fun! 🎄

[@tatt-back]

Love when you do trees. Very helpful.

[@fionaharvey2720]

Loved this video and I feel I made progress when I had a go myself! Thank you! I love trees too! ☘️

[@gillianandrews3095]

What fun. Thankyou. I love trees and can't wait to practice my trees.

[@kathleenscherm-caulfield3825]

Best looking trees ever and really so simple! Thanks Emma😊

[@ginettecayer3434]

So beautiful

[@meenapatel3335]

Emma, you made it look so easy! They are so beautiful! I have to try now! Thanks

[@Treeofthewood]

1. Limber pine 2. Ponderosa in fog 3. White fir. 4. Limber pine 5. Sugar pine ( they look kinda like they have long, stretchy branches, like an octopus) 😉🌲👍 Now, when I go home, I’m gonna try painting my beloved trees. Thanks so much!

[@darcipowers6971]

THEY are so beautiful - you are amazing at trees!!! Make more - so lovely!!!

[@gloprn52]

Enjoyed your tutorial I loved your different trees and enjoyed your teaching techniques to include how to correct mistakes thanks so much

[@karenschreiber9936]

[@kauseressaji876]

Wow what a great demo. Thank you so much. You make it look so easy.

[@sicajm]

Thanks so much for this Emma I am such a beginner but I could follow along and get trees! So happy 😄 And I would gladly watch heaps more videos of you painting trees🌲

[@TiredMomma]

I'm trying to focus on how to draw and paint trees more than I did before. Seeing the trees in winter really helps to see their shapes, how full or thin the branches are, along with height.

[@karendirmish2696]

A wonderful calming class on Trees! Love each of the four, my favorite was the 5th one! I’m going to do a page of trees to calm me down in this busy holiday season . Thank you for a lovely start to the last week before Christmas! Have a wonderful Christmas, Karen Dirmish

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

This was great and yes do more tree videos of different kinds. Lovely

[@fine2dreamw618]

In BC, Canada. Lot's of these - my guess 1. Pine 2. Cedar 3. Larch 4. Hemlock 5.Grand Fir

[@kyote_unleashed]

[@susanbostrom7644]

Thanks for this..much needed by me. I tried them all and ended up with “not bad” ones for the first and third one you did. Will try again tomorrow!

[@MarkPrimavera]

Great tree tutorial! The third tree you painted looks like a young white spruce or a Balsam fir before it has fully matured and starts to fill in with branches.

[@samhugh4965]

Yes, gimme more trees! Learning so much!

[@DebbieSarensen]

This was really helpful. I’m going to be painting trees today! Thank you!

[@galemckiddy5120]
