Someone suggested this, and I was like immediately YESSS! The negative space paintings are so fun, but it's really hard to fully explain it (or understand it) in a 2 minute video. This tutorial will slow it all down so that you can really get the concept. And once you understand, you can apply this to any design!
In this lesson, I cut out some basic leaf shapes to trace, and I found a coloring sheet printable that's perfect. You can find it at firstpalette.com/printable/leaf.html
Supplies are available on my website cozylark.com
The layers do have to dry completely for this project. If you do a lot of watercolor, or you're just really impatient, like me, you may want to get a heat tool for crafting. It really speeds things up! They're like $10 on Amazon amzn.to/4cl1f53
