Your class project is to come back and share some of the whimsical trees you created in class. I'd love to know what supplies you experimented with and the fun colors you ended up loving.

Not sure how to post a project? I have a video for you in this discussion: Posting A Project

Supplies I'm using in class:

This class is truly a mixed bag of options you can choose from to create your trees. Look through your own art supplies and pull out a variety to pull from. I am using anything from watercolors, acrylic paints, craft paints, acrylic inks, gold paints, and more - please don't feel you have to use any of the materials I am using. I want you to take inspiration from the fun trees being created and use what you have on hand to create some whimsical art.
