Holy moly, I just learned how to draw leaves. You’re an amazing teacher. The way you explained is exactly what I needed. I’m an aviary caretaker. I raise and rehabilitate birds. Pet birds, wild birds, all the birds.

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

I'm so glad that was helpful for you, Brandi! And your work sounds incredible, thanks for sharing!

Helpful tutorial. Thanks for sharing this

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Glad it's helpful, you're very welcome!!

[@terrisews8276]

How cool is that. I love it. Thank you so much

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Those leaves aren't so bad to draw, right?! 😀

[@debbozzuto698]

Hi, an ICU nurse with a diagnosis of metastatic cancer, so...... I decided to try to teach myself to attempt watercolor painting to Chillllll. I am a bit overwhelmed, downloading everything so I can watch during my treatments and then try it, I like your teaching approach, but I am not artistic, just a medical nerd!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Hey Deb! Thanks so much for sharing. I hope that watercolor can be a bit of peace to your life! ❤❤❤

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

Deb Bozzuto a watercolour sketchbook with a pencil and maybe a tiny travel palette is all you need. Even if you don’t have the time for large fancy art. Sometimes taking a 5 minute break to practice straight lines or squiggles or even creating blocks of colour is really all you need to relax during the hustle and bustle of hospital life 🤗

[@MirjanaBozhinovska]

Hi I am an architect. After I started working ten years ago, I haven't had a lot of time for doing creative stuff as I used to all my life... I just Love painting in watercolor, and I really liked your first book

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Architect! That's awesome! I hope you are able to find more time to watercolor. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the support!! xoxo

[@medicmamamunchkins4524]

Hey from Canada! I bought your watercolour book and then found out that you were on youtube. I'm a stay at home mom of two tornadoes so this quick video is perfect for me. I never felt "good" at drawing but I'm learning that I'm not as bad as i thought😊

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Stay at home mom is a FULL TIME JOB and it's no joke! Haha, now that I have a little baby boy, man, having a child is a lot of work -- super rewarding and most amazing, but it is consuming, so all the power to you mama! :) Keep up that drawing practice and you will only get better and better, and don't forget to enjoy the process (when you find some time!). Take care. xoxo

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

medic, mama, & munchkins the best fun about being at home with your kids and doing art is that it’s a non judgmental audience!! They will love EVERY single thing you create! It’s my niece who encouraged me to start drawing again because everything I drew, no matter how basic, was just amazing in her eyes... 🤗

[@biamakani3548]

Currently a SAHM of 2 kids but trying to move towards starting an illustration business from home when kids go to school full time. Baby steps!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Ya mama! You go! It's not easy -- SUPER rewarding and amazing -- but super not easy being a mom! Thanks for sharing! If you haven't seen or heard or know... I have a couple courses out now (and a couple more coming) that share how I make an income as an artist. So if you're really trying to get into it, I highly recommend checking out the courses I have (and ones I have coming out within the next half a year or so). Pen to Press and Brand Plus Brand are the courses out now -- you can find more info on my website jennarainey.com -- could be a massive help to you! Take care and all the best!! xoxo

[@Ryleegirl04]

[@dianesmith9898]

This was so helpful to me! I am a colorist, not an artist, but I want to learn to do some basic drawing so I can add interesting backgrounds to my pictures and this is exactly what I was looking for at this moment in time. Thank you!

[@Samiambambam]

quick question. I feel like you do an s curve on the side of the leaf, and the one beneath it looks more like a c curve? Is that right? maybe a long c curve. just not seeing the s part? thanks so much! love this video

[@jonisilva8154]
