Join me to paint 3 pages of watercolour leaves. In this video I show a practice page where I try out the different leaf shapes I can make with different sizes (and brands) of watercolour brush, and show three different ways to create your leafy patterns on the page; a directionless scatter pattern of simple leaves and stems, a directional line and wash pattern and a trailing, curving pattern.
This project is part of my season of art tutorials themed around drawing, painting and printing patterns. These projects are for personal use only. Please do not sell any work copied exactly from my tutorials (though taking inspiration and developing it your own way is always encouraged!) and please credit me if you post work online that you've made from following a tutorial or using my downloadable line work.
INFORMATION
You'll find lots of extra information about me on my website, including all the supplies I regularly use. You'll find downloadable line art for many projects and reference photos for those projects where I've used one. You can also sign up for my quarterly mailing list for news and exclusive offers.
