How to Paint Colorful Trees with Acrylics || Ikea Paint Brushes and Paints

How to paint colorful trees with acrylics using art supplies (Mala or Måla paint brushes and paints) from Ikea. I'm painting children's book illustration style trees on primed cardboard, scanning the painting, editing in GIMP and arranging the trees into a seamlessly repeating pattern to create a colorful forest of leafy trees.

I'm showing you how to paint these cute and colorful trees step by step in this acrylic painting tutorial for beginners and opening the #Ikea paint and paint brush sets, showing you the contents, testing them out and reviewing them.

You can also see the difference between painting on unprimed cardboard and painting on primed cardboard, because I tried painting the trees on both surfaces.

This tree pattern is now available in my Redbubble shop on different products like wall art, clocks, stickers, notebooks, mugs and pillows. You can check them out through the link below.
