Live Encore: Loose Watercolor Leaf Wreaths

Learn a new skill and let loose in your watercolor practice with these stunning leaf wreaths. 

Watercolorist and calligrapher Audrey Ko has found through her years of artmaking and teaching that sometimes the simplest things can be the most creatively fulfilling. In this Skillshare class—recorded using Zoom and featuring participation from the Skillshare community—Audrey shares a simple project that can help you seriously level up your watercolor game and even serve as a meditative practice. You’ll walk away with a gorgeous leaf wreath and a dose of creative confidence.

To start, you’ll go through some leaf painting drills to give you a chance to warm up your painting muscle while learning more about Audrey’s technique and style. Then, you’ll prep for your wreath by finding some inspiration and mixing colors. Finally, you’ll get to paint right alongside Audrey as she talks about composition, layering your watercolors, and rolling with the punches to turn “mistakes” into part of your masterpiece.

Along the way, students who participated in the live session were able to ask Audrey questions, giving you the chance to hear more about her artistic journey and process.
