EDM 15 Draw a Tree or Trees - Paper Birch Watercolor

watercolor painting of birch trees

I called these birch trees and my daughter who recently took a Minnesota botany class reminded me they are paper birch trees, betula papyifera. I enjoy knowing the correct names for things and it gives me a chance to use my 9th grade Latin skills.

Actually, all I remember is how to delineate verbs and most of the Latin words for Christmas carols

    Thank you. Yes, it is watercolour; we spell it a little differently here.

    Lovely painting. I like the way you captured the different shades on these trunks.

    Eye catching, colorful, yet soft. Good one.
