Learn to Paint Watercolor Leaves

In this class I'll share how I paint leaves with watercolor using different watercolor techniques and seven types of leaves as examples.

The skills I'll demonstrate include:

• mixing paint for a general palette using pan watercolor paints
• observing a subject and creating preliminary pencil sketches 
• wet on wet washes
• wet on dry washes
• lifting paint with a damp brush
• layering paint
• mixing color on the page
• painting fine details

These skills can be used in many other watercolor applications.

The leaves I paint in this class are from the following plants:

• lipstick plant
• jade plant
• marigold
• orchid
• oxalis
• nasturtium
• rose
