Flowers and foliage are my favourite things to paint. It's a great idea to begin with leaves as they come in all shapes, sizes and colours; perfect preparation for all the shapes of the natural world.
If you've enjoyed this video and would like to support me further take a look at my Patreon page at https://bit.ly/3briO5P to see what we've got to offer.
In this episode, we look at how to paint a simple, smooth-sided leaf shape using the C and S curves you have already had a go at in the Watercolour for Beginners episode 3 (https://bit.ly/3dKQefW)
We look at how watercolour can dry in patches, unevenly, and how you can try and rectify this, but ultimately how to surrender to watercolour's will.
I'd love to hear your suggestions for things you would like to learn how to paint in the comments below.
