Birch Trees With Watercolor Backgrounds Using Spray Bottles

I am sure you have seen these birch trees before, but let me tell you my students had a blast making them. See below for some of ours. I also placed 2 videos in this blog post. I did not give the students a time / season of year but focused on the use of the watercolors in the spray bottles and the different effects. Drop us a comment and share the ways that you have tried this lesson.

Biltmore Estate Tour-Part 2

Here is post 2 of the Biltmore Estate: You can find Post 1 here at this link https://2soulsisters.blogspot.com/2022/06/tour-of-biltmore-part-1.html

Biltmore, America's Largest Home, built by George Vanderbilt. We explored the 8000-acre estate in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, NC. With both of us (me and left brain) having art back grounds this was most interesting to see in person.
