Here are my Keys to Success for a Tree Swipe:
1. I mixed these paints to a medium-thin consistency, leaving a trace and a small mound when drizzled off of the stir stick.
2. Let your paints sit for several hours before using them to reduce the amount of air bubbles when you pour. As a general rule, the thicker the consistency of your paints, the longer it takes for the bubbles to rise through the paint and release. I usually let them sit (covered) for about 24 hours before using them.
3. A Tree Swipe has two layers: a background swipe and a composition swipe. To create the background, I put down a transparent dark violet / purple base, and also used it as the swipe color over the layered metallics. I used repurposed plastic swiping tools in several sizes to create some variation and randomness in the background. If you are going to tilt to level out the paint, this is when you should do it.
4. For the composition, I used a wider bladed palette knife to create the structure of the tree, and then added details and definition to the branches using progressively smaller tools.
5. Swiping must be done very slowly. If find it easiest to stand with one leg behind me so I can shift my weight and still get a smooth swipe.
6. Swiping creates a lot of air bubbles, so torch often.
Colors used:
Amsterdam Permanent Blue Violet
DecoArt Extreme Sheen Copper
DecoArt 24K Gold
Amsterdam Pearl White
Custom Pink: Amsterdam Persian Rose, Liquitex Basics Deep Violet, DecoArt 24 K Gold
Leftover blues and violets
My pouring medium is equal parts Floetrol, PVA Glue and Gloss Varnish. My paints were mixed 4 parts pouring medium to 1 part paint.
I used a 24"x36" gallery wrapped canvas.

At first it looks like a skyline by night ❤
lol… I saw this as a horizontal piece. Then I realized it was an actually a tree vertically… absolutely beautiful
That’s beautiful !!!
So beautiful!
That gold!!! Motion and texture. It looks like it took someone a year to do. Magical.
It looks like a tree on fire beside a lake. It's beautiful! It's nice to see someone do one of these pours and see what the picture is, rather that just a bunch of pretty colors and bubbles. Love this!
c'est de toute beauté ! ♥️
Nice 🙂👍👍🙂🙂
UNREAL!!!!!! you have inspired me to try another tree! Thank you !
Northen lights!!!
i really like it.
Dammmmmm that ls nice
Truly amazing. I often see unintentional things in pour paintings, but intentional tree is beyond beautiful. Thank you for sharing your work.
DUUUUUDE this is 100% a Whayne’s World moment - WE’RE NOT WORTHY, WE’RE NOT WORTHY, I said it once & I’ll say it again, this is by fare my favourite piece I’ve seen you do WOW WOW WOW you captured it PERFECTLY
The gold tones appear to be a sunset behind the tree. Very nice work. A good conversation starter.
This is stunning! Love the colors and the way it looks backlit. You said "moonlight" - and that's exactly the impression it gives! Great job!
I "visit" videos, but rarely stay. When I come back to watch it again, that's when I know you have stirred something deep wthin. Thank you. So amazing that it will work hung vertically or horizontally. I am now a subscriber.

I paint landscapes and getting bored with the same old. Been trying this type of pour painting. I must try this one.

정교하네요 잘보고 있읍니다 (KOREA)
In a horizontal position it is like a riverbank with a row of trees in Winter and their reflection in the river, which also has the reflected colours of a deep Winter sky.....
You have the most calming voice, you give off total Zen vibes!

*New to your channel. Hello from Lehigh Acres, FL (SWFL) - Nate, you got skills darling. Thank you for sharing - Have a blessed day! - "BEAUTIFUL!"
I would name that - "The Tree of Serenity!" It pops and brings calm to the uneasy!
Wow Nate... This tree swipe is gorgeous. The metallics and purple are fab...
This painting is absolutely beautiful. It appears to glow. Thanks for sharing.
Like something out of a fairytale! I love this. One day i'll try this. x
So beautiful ❤
Thank you Nate for a wonderful painting. Greetings from Switzerland.😘
Oh Nate! I just love this piece, it's a beauty! I have to keep fast forward or my focus is totally blurred, but never mind, the cancer is getting it's butt kicked. Love to you both xxx
Wow, the colors are out of this world!
Beautiful, thank you!!!
Magnifico 😍🥰🫶
Well Nate - this is amazing.
I love to see you doing your swipes. It looks so easy and relaxed.
The colors are stunning. It's a great piece of art. Perfect
So. beautiful !
Your color selection is off the charts!
Fantastically beautiful Nate!🎉
Gorgeous my friend!! Not only the glow of that gold and copper but the white outlining the branches looks like you did brush work for highlights! Just stunning!❤
Absolutely breathtaking! You are incredibly inspiring. Thank you so much for shating!❤😊
❤ well done!!!
Wow c'est ttellement beau !
We are watching your video with my 5 years old daughter and we are without breath. Your art work is absolutely gorgeous fantastic...the colors😮 the lines 😮 and the final result 😱Wonderful. 👍👌Thanks for this pleasure. We are sending you our greetings from Czech Republic ✌️🙏🙋🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
This is SOO BEAUTIFUL!!❤
Wowwie! That is beautiful! I like it for the reasons you mentioned. The copper and gold looks like they are illuminating from behind, both the trunk and branches.
I too, liked only the swipe and liked it as was, glowed like the Aurora Borialis. If left like that then maybe add a "tree line" in the center, and possibly tree shadows seen below in the snow on the other half.
This is truly inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
Love this. Brilliant
It's beyond stunning! Absolutely beautiful! The only thing that I didn't like was your music. I wish you'd choose delicate and soothing music that would better match your heavenly art.
This is absolutely MASTERFUL! 💜
Oh this is excellent Nate! I love it, it is perfect.
Hi Nate, thanks for your beautiful color inspiration. I've made several trees but the one I did with these colors came out beautiful! Thank you
What a beautiful painting
Absolutely beautiful!
So creative, when you had the purple strip down the picture I immediately saw this as a cty s ape with the lights of the city in silhouette. Then invert the picture and I could see embers of a once vibrant woodlands smoldering with the lake mirroring in the foreground. And then turn it vertically and you see the trunk of a large tree.
Shared. Love the colors! This is stunning, you did an amazing job ✨
Love the way that you can hang this pour Either horizontal or vertical.
Horizontal as a reflection & Vertical As a large old tree.
Best usage of a pour I have seen so far in my looking at videos In the last six months to a year.
LOVE THE MUSIC!!❤
I love these swipes always been one of my favorites and this combo with purple is stunning.
Thank you. As a horticulturist and artist, I love seeing the combination. I was trying to swipe the branches from the trunk:)
