Watercolor trees

Created these trees for a watercolor class. I wanted to push the limits on using plastic wrap for the background. Steps for this piece include -

1. Using watercolors on watercolor paper in blues and greens, wet the paper and apply color, while still wet, crunch up the plastic wrap and lay in the wet paint, let dry
2. Remove the plastic wrap after dry and apply another layer of watercolor in a mix of green and brown along the bottom of the page, crunch up plastic wrap and lay in color, let dry
3. Remove the plastic wrap then paint in the trees.

Supplies - watercolor paper, watercolors, palette, large brush, small brush, plastic wrap
