Do's And Don'ts Of Painting Watercolour Leaves

[@monalafleur3647]

One more comment… really liked that you had the do’s and don’t side by side. Great teaching technique for me anyway !

[@karenjohnson8945]

Thank you👏 Emma for your tips. Love watching your videos. I hope these last week's of your pregnancy are being kind to you. Can't wait to see your little man. Have a great weekend.🙏💗💞

[@lauradillard8894]

I never comment on video, but I just had to say this was so helpful! Thank you!

[@monashamdasani3728]

Love your do’s & don’t series! 💕So valuable and yet simple to understand with your easy way of explaining and demos! The key is to try it out after viewing 😅 BTW my Emma Lefebvre brushes have arrived in Japan and on the way to my 🏡, I’m counting the hours! So excited😊 Thank you Emma stay awesome 🌈

[@nelsonshakespeare2881]

Your tips are so significant. I know I am enjoying and improving my painting with watercolors because of your method of instruction. It makes sense to me, so thanks for sharing your time and talent.

[@cilene2805]

Thanks, Emma. I am certainly going to paint better leaves after this video. 🌿

[@carlabravi8623]

Very simple and enjoyable 🎉 Thank you!

[@duanapearson643]

Dos and donts are very helpful. While I know some of this, seeing the tips/techniques and differences side by side and in one video helps to solidify the info in my brain. Watched dos and donts on florals yesterday … I definitely need to work on the right amount of white space in my work. Videos like this really help me to improve my art. Thank you! (I love that you struggle to make something “bad”. 😉). Keep up the good work. We really appreciate it! ❤️

[@kaitkrautheim6886]

I’m definitely learning that I’ve been doing it wrong. This is a great example of that.

[@jet8485]

There is some kind of perfection in beïng imperfect.. Love that. Great lesson for life as well 🥰

[@jacquehranica2150]

I am so thrilled with this. I have been struggling with leaves… thanks

[@joykruczay]

Thanks ever so much for sharing your talents with the world! Alternating the pressure within a single stroke is an EXTREMELY important tip, and gives more natural results. Great video and photography.

[@lydiemonin977]

I really struggle with leaves, this will help so much, I also had a brain wave, for practice I am using my Cotman paints and saving the professional ones for the real deal . Thank you

[@noorallawati5390]

Just tried those. I'm happy

[@niriereddy2317]

Great tips, thank you. Always appreciate your tips n tricks - very helpful for us beginners.

[@mayloo2137]

The way I try to paint leaves, I can use all the advice I can get. PS Hello from Calgary 🤠

[@deborahsteele4349]

Really helpful Emma. Your new brushes make life so much easier. I have them x x

[@shellyparker8960]

So many good tips as always, Emma! Thank you.

[@anneperlmutter3775]

Great tips for my crepe paper project - doing an arrangement of my favorite alley weed - chicory. The leaves go every which way, stems jink back & forth... working to get them to look natural, your advice appreciated!

[@samardraws]

Thank you so much! That was clear and great tips to keep them in mind.

[@Love2Create62]

Thank you for your tips, seeing you explain as you go helps so much! I love painting leaves; applying your tips will help me make them look so much better!

[@afishcalledmeg]

Thanks for this, I love the way you do your leaves! Thank you! Hope you feel better soon!

[@angierivera8593]

I second that! Love the do's and don't series. It has helped me tremendously. Great job!

[@suzannewithers8093]

Just love how you explain it all. Great for beginners like me. Can’t wait to try it

[@Beanie59]

Thankyou Emma, I recognise my own attempts of foliage in your donts side, so thankyou for some simple helpful tips. I need to ignore the little voice in my brain telling me how a leaf should look which stiffens up my painting. I am enjoying this series very much, though you seem to have more problems allowing yourself to paint a wrong leaf as even your donts look better than my dos!

[@alcuproject]

Thank you Emma! This video is exactly what I’m looking for!

[@Gayatri_Deshpande]

I really love your videos, Emma. I have learned so much from you. I started painting sort of to tackle work stress, and I love plants, flowers, so love watching and learning from you. Thank you so much💜

[@lainareeves3755]

Great tips Emma! It all makes a lot of sense!!! Thanks for all the great tutorials!!! Hope you're feeling well! 😊🌿🍀🌱

[@MarySparkle]

So helpful to me. Thank you, Emma.

[@baclark512]

Thank you for these great tips. I really appreciate all your insights. I have been discouraged with my watercolor but this makes me want to get back into it. God bless you and the great talent he has given you.

[@woodywood1951]

good advice, and for sure it looks better this way. But sometimes, mother nature makes leaves on branches very symmetric, very straight... (palm tree, etc.) Your videos are so instructive... I do watercolor for years, but I still learn from you!!!

[@jodymbmw3460]

These tips are great. Thank you for sharing them.

[@pieceocountry]

Another great video! I'm so guilty of painting in a single flat plain. Thanks for the side by side comparison. It is so helpful to see them together like that.

[@michelleharris4014]

Very helpful. I’m definitely going to use your suggestions. TFS. 🌿

[@ButterFly-cw7sj]

This really helps.

[@dawnborchert772]

Thank you❤️

[@Aneres225]

I feel attacked! 🤣 I couldn't figure out why all my attempted foliage keeps coming out so amateur. I mean, I am an amateur but I'm TRYING to improve. They already look so much better after seeing you explain what to watch out for. Thank you I love your tutorials!

[@alethan1]

So useful! Thanks

[@atirblum]

My " studio" is quite dark. What sort of illumination/ lighting would you recommend for waterpainting? Something standing on my table. And what about fixatives? Does and don'ts? Thank you Emma❣

[@JustMeYouSee]

Emma can you give a lesson on the consistency of the watercolor in the pan. It seems I either have too much or too little

[@PrayingforIsrael]

I keep getting these puddels at the end of the leaves. How can I prevent that from happening? Thank you for all the amazing tutorials ♥️. Greetings from the Netherlands 👋🏽
