How to Paint Water Droplets on a Leaf in Watercolour - Step by Step Raindrop Tutorial for Beginners

[@NorthoverFamily]

Your water droplets are amazing. I tried this, and though it's nowhere near as good as yours, I'm happy with the results and will keep practising to get it better. You've inspired me.

[@terribashaw3961]

Thank you Kendra for the detailed lesson. For the first time I think I really understood how to produce realistic water drops. Will practice this today.

[@kendraart]

Yay! I’m so glad.

[@travelbonne4872]

This is fantastic! Thanks ❤

[@yorkieterrior15]

Wonderful. Now to try it.

[@kendraart]

I look forward to hearing how it went!

[@gtinsa]

That was such a clear and concise way of making raindrops! Thank you for sharing your artistic talents!

[@KellySimon]

Hey this is a great tutorial, and I love the way you show different techniques and how to fix it when it acts a way that you don't intend. Thank you!

[@kendraart]

You're welcome! I like to say there are no mistakes in watercolour, only techniques that you wish you could use somewhere else. ;)

[@TheDrMeade]

I really appreciate how you show EVERYTHING - like dabbing the water on the towel every time - I wasn't doing that and wasn't getting a good gradient. Thank you so much.

[@kendraart]

Oh good, I hope this helps your gradients. There are other ways to do it too such as using the rim of your water jar. This is just what works for me. ☺️

[@user-gl6dg8ho3j]

Fantastic demonstration, thank you very much!

Best tutorial on this topic. Thanks.

[@emilyw4684]

Thanks Kendra! I’m painting some lily pads with water droplets and this is just what I needed to tackle the finishing touches.

[@kendraart]

Oh perfect! Have fun :)

[@doublejc3382]

wow i loved this! the video and explanation were so detailed and clear, thank you!!

[@Juletones79]

This video is very clear, concise, and helpful. Thank you so much!

[@kendraart]

Thank you! I’m glad. 😊

[@lindyhawthorne2164]

Very interesting. Ive never seen blue used before for waterdrops. Ive always used a darker value of whatever the drop is painted upon.

[@kendraart]

Yes, you are absolutely right to do that! That’s what I should have used on the first ones, on white paper. They looked really odd without the local colour didn’t they! 😂 I think the blue worked well on the green leaves because blue mixes so well with green. They turned out so much better. Thanks for this comment. I think it’s a good practice. If anyone is reading this far, try this! ^

[@donatelladigiorgio9417]

Grazie spero di riuscirci anch'io ..stupende gocce complimenti

[@kendraart]

Grazie! Spero ti divertirai a dipingere le gocce!

[@kendraart]

Awe, thank you Emma, I really appreciate it.

[@emzportraitscrafts]

@@kendraart you're welcome, I think it's amazing!! :)

[@mrsbsantiago]

Hi Kendra! Good demo and explanation. I saw your post on Watercolor - Beginners and Beyond Facebook group. I tried the droplets before, but it was not so good, this time I would like to try again.

[@kendraart]

Oh good, I hope it goes well. It took me some practice when I first learned this too. ❤️

[@mrsbsantiago]

@@kendraart Yes, I will keep practicing.

[@tayyabasalam6240]

please draw a bunch of tree with rain drops

[@lajuskow4655]

HI Kendra, great video, will be trying this soon. What brushes do you use, they look great to work with for this technique.

[@kendraart]

Synthetic filament brushes from Curry’s in Ontario, Canada. www.currys.com/catalogpc.htm?Category=CURRYS_ROUND_BRUSHES_S2500&NBReset=2 #6 round and a 1/2” flat

[@ashleywright8686]

Audio isn’t that great and the music is too competing. Still, the tutorial is very helpful.

[@kendraart]

I’m a newb! My goal is to learn Adobe premier pro this year, hopefully it comes with some audio help. Thanks for letting me know that the music was too loud. And thank you for your comment that the tutorial was helpful, I really appreciate that. :)

[@DeePare]

Your method looks amazing, but honestly, I'm finding it too difficult to follow your voice instructions, because of how fast you speak. Beautiful droplets, though!

[@kendraart]

Thank you for your insight. I always worry that videos will be too slow/long/boring. I’ll try to keep in mind to not go too fast. One idea for now would be to click on the settings gear and change the playback speed so it’s a bit slower.

[@DeePare]

@@kendraart I had no idea I could do that, thank you! I will check it out. 🙂

[@NorthoverFamily]

I love your tutorial on this. I followed while you did it and I am inspired to keep practising to get it more perfect. Thanks so much.

[@joykruczay]

I just watched several videos on water drops, and this was by far the best! Excellent photography and detailed explanation. Thanks ever so much for sharing your knowledge and talents with the world!

[@kendraart]

oh wow, thank you so much. That makes my day.
