Draw a Blended Color Tree 3. Add two branches. 3. Add more branches. 4. Balance with more branches as needed. Note that all the lines touch something to make closed shapes. 5. Trace with a black marker. Go over the lines several times to make them really thick. 6. Fill with two similar colors. This one has a hard edge, the goal is to have a soft edge between the two. 7. YES! This one has a soft transition. Overlapping the colors a LOT will get this effect. It takes time! 8. Proceed with the next color. Startby pressing hard, and then always gradually getting lighter before switching to the other color. 9. Continue until filled. Remember, similar colors are always the easiest to blend together. Red + orange, light blue + dark blue, etc. © artprojectsforkids.org 1. Draw the center of the tree. © artprojectsforkids.org © artprojectsforkids.org Blended Colors Tree
