One thing we like to do, in our little town, is to climb the hill below our water tower and settle in to draw the scene below. Since we live in a farming community, the view of the trees, fields and town below changes drastically from season to season. It’s a lot of fun to capture a series of drawings from each season of the year.
I also really like this idea I saw at Madtown Macs blog. She uses white paint on black paper to create birch tree trunks and then adds fall colored leaves. The final product is lovely. I’m hoping to give it a try with my kids in the next week or two. Be sure to click the graphic below to read her full tutorial.

Got something to say?
Hi Dena, it’s Charisa from Madtown Macs.
Glad you liked my project and thanks for the re-post! Had to clarify one mistake though – the trunk of the trees are made from white paint, not glue. Dip the edge of a piece of cardboard in the white paint and drag it along the black paper to get the effect. Thanks and hope your kiddos like the project!
Dena says: Oops! Thanks for the update. I’ll fix that!
