Tropical Leaves Watercolour Tutorial

These fun leaf paintings are easy to paint and you only need a few materials.
Grab your paint box and paint along with me. 
Materials List

I would recommend spending some time mixing different greens and trying them out on a scrap of paper. Pay special attention to the subtleties in the different variations you can get.

Stretching Watercolour Paper

As with many practices in watercolour, Stretching your paper is a personal choice.
Or is used in occasions when needed. 
Stretching the paper is done to prevent your surface from buckling while you are working. 
It also give the painting a secure ground to be kept on if its going to take a few sittings to finish it. 

It is a fundamental skill in any watercolourists "tool box", and worth experimenting with to see if it does suit your style of working. 

The video tutorial below goes through two ways I prepare my paper.

When your paper is ready to use Fill it up with COLOUR!
Have a go ... Have fun!

Handmade with Love
