Drawing bending leaves in Line and Wash

[@Razzilou]

Camilla~~I am an absolute beginner in Drawing & Watercolor & so much appreciate your gentle, thoughtful approach and the pacing of your instruction. My 1st leaf looks like a tortured pickle, but #3 is loved! I’ll be repeating this exercise & many more from your website. Many thanks, Robin

[@CamillaDamsboArt]

Thank you so much, Robin! I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying the process and seeing progress already! Tortured pickle to loved leaf is a big win-keep going, and I can’t wait to see what you create next!

I watch more art instruction on Utube than I care to admit. Spent the entire morning with this one. Watched it over and over and over! So. Much fun trying out these techniques with the leaves and then moving on to some Black Eyed Susans. Very helpful ! Thanks so much.

[@CamillaDamsboArt]

That’s amazing! So glad to hear you enjoyed the video and had fun experimenting with the techniques. 🌿🎨 Black Eyed Susans sound like a beautiful next step! Keep creating, I’m thrilled this was helpful for you!

I love twisty leaves and all the colors that can go into a leaf.

[@saradelvalleperalta2378]

Me encanta y el movimiento de las hojas. Suelo dibujar pero acá la invitación es muy grande. Gracias desde Argentina 🇦🇷

[@CamillaDamsboArt]

Twisty leaves are so much fun to draw, aren’t they? And yes, the colors you can explore with leaves are endless!

[@CamillaDamsboArt]

[@HillcrestVBS]

Thanks for the tips and the clear concise instructions. I struggle with my leaves looking too straight , lifeless, and one dimensional. Going to go grab some paper now to try this out.

[@CamillaDamsboArt]

I’m so glad the tips and instructions helped! Leaves can be challenging, but adding a bit of curve and variation can really bring them to life. Have fun experimenting, and I’d love to hear how it goes! 🍃✏️

Thank you Camilla for sharing! I found you recently by a book review here on KZbin (ordered both yesterday, when I can not watch you outside on KZbin I can do some excerises with the books!) and I just begun to paint again a month ago. You have really helped with my flow, the results shows in just a couple of days! Finally painting is fun again, loose! An I also got my daughter to paint again, and it is awsome and relaxing. Hej från Stockholm. ❤❤❤

[@CamillaDamsboArt]

Thank you so much for sharing this with me! I'm thrilled to hear that the videos and books are helping you rediscover the joy of painting-and even more wonderful that your daughter is painting with you! It’s amazing how creativity can be both fun and relaxing when we let it flow. Wishing you lots of continued inspiration and happy painting! Hej fra Danmark! 🎨😊❤

[@JoeJoe-uo5hf]

Camilla I love your work and it is because of you I have zillions of fine liners and dip pens 🤣And I bought your 'Ink and Wash Florals: Stunning Botanical Projects in Watercolor and Ink' book which I highly recommend. This tutorial is excellent and I am learning a lot but whilst watching it it dawned on me that if you had an actual physical leaf that you could show folding and twisting in advance of each drawing that would make it so clear to us viewers with limited imagination!! Thank you for all your videos and time - we really appreciate all you do xxx

[@CamillaDamsboArt]

Thank you so much for your lovely message and support! I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying the book and tutorials. That's a great suggestion about using a physical leaf for demonstration-I can see how that would make things even clearer, especially for understanding form and movement. I truly appreciate your feedback and encouragement! 😊🌿

✔️Great & interesting video! - I was just going to paint my old drawing of pumpkins and leaves. I remember the continuous erasing of the leaves and vines. It was really fun though. :)) 🫶
