How to Paint Watercolor Leaves with One Brush

Hi Friends.
Painting watercolor shouldn't be about rules but about finding JOY and using your precious free time to elevate your life. I'm here to push fears aside, avoid complicated tools and inspire free spirited, mood shifting watercolor experiences in short bursts of time.
1. Loose with pencil
2. Bold brushstrokes
3. Sketching with watercolor
I hope you'll paint along with me and ask all the questions you want in comments! Post your creations using the hashtags #artforjoysake and #forgetrulesforgetrightrememberjoy
Happy Painting!
XO, Kristy Rice

*The way you are using that brush is amazing. Your explanation is remarkable!*

[@KristyRice]

art_i_hunt Ah wonderful, glad you are enjoying my ramblings!!

[@4tjinta]

TOTALLY agree!!!

[@annhinson5670]

What a beautiful bouquet of leaves. I love all the colors you used. I have this set mind that you have to paint all leaves green. This completely changes my mind. You showed me that it's ok to think out of the box. Thank you Kristy!

[@KristyRice]

Sooo many ways to make green come alive!!

[@Tessanna12]

Awesome lesson, Kristy! ☺ Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I bought that lil brush when I saw you using it. Now I want the whole set. 😣 The colors you've used are gorgeous! I have three of your books and they are so fun to play in. I love how each page is printed twice. Thanks again for your videos. P.S. Oh, yeah, ...the metal part of the brush is called the "ferrule", not "barrel". Possibly, some call the handle of the brush (the long wood or plastic part) the "barrel", but the metal part is just called the "ferrule". Fun fact of the day 🤔 Have a good one!☺ www.drawingandpaintinglessons.com/images/Anntomy-Brush.jpg

[@Adrienne926]

Dude... She simply misspoke and has called it a 'ferrule' many times in the past. But to take it further and actually link the anatomy of a paintbrush to a professional painter, just in case she didn't know AFTER explaining it twice, don't you think that's a tad much, maybe even a bit insulting? I mean.. you actually explained what the handle was to her??? come on

[@amyr.862]

I love your work in this video but the part about not turning the paper wasn't cool. If someone has movement issues, moving the paper might prevent pain and discomfort. It might sound discouraging to someone interested.

[@KristyRice]

Thanks for the feedback. This was just one suggestion for challenging oneself and developing muscle memory with this particular brush. If you continue to watch my videos, you’ll notice I actually encourage folks to turn their page however it is most comfortable for them. I was taught strictly NOT to turn my page and always found that to be incredibly limiting, BUT it can be a great way to challenge yourself along the art making journey.

[@amyr.862]

@@KristyRice Sorry for the late reply (darn notifications). I gotcha 😀 Thanks for the clarification!

[@dianwidayanti939]

i am a newbie in watercolor painting also sketching ..and dont reallt have the intention to take proper class for it..I dont know next time..for right now no..just heard shes saying to turn the paper around is cheating..and not allowed..whats the reason..i thought its should be fun free expressive when come to an art.. i dont know..I turn my paper a lot during painting hahahahahahaaaaaa...

So do you always paint upside down?

Okay. You are an absolute delight. It has been so much fun learning from you and watching how you have grown into an amazing world changer over the years. Your I guess I would call it "Stage presence" is just astounding over 5 years. I'm so proud of you!! I'm new to watercoloring. Started on the 4th of July. Of 2023. I've wdatched so many hours of your great training. You definitely bring me joy Christy Rice!!! I'll link some photos of my art in another comment of where I've come in a few short months.

[@mariebrayshaw5113]

Fantastic..you are wonderful painter

[@LCLand]

I assumed the angle and dagger were the same. Good to know!

[@robincooper9323]

Love this lesson Kristy! Thank you! I struggle with selecting a palette of colors to use for a project such as this. I know about the color wheel, but I don't know which colors to use to do a practice like this. For me, the color is equally as important and the strokes, because I won't practice the strokes if the colors aren't pretty. What is it I need to learn?

[@KristyRice]

Robin Cooper ahh this is such a good question. If you know the color wheel, you know everything... your basic tenants are there...complimentary, secondary and so on... use that as a base for color choice. I use complimentary colors heavily... for example you’ll often see me add a touch of pink to a green leaf, very subtle but it adds a zing. Also spend some time searching out colors. Cut them out and then play with combinations. Make note of the combos you love. Happy painting!

[@gnostie]

Ah good, this brush I can get in the UK. Great, problem solved!!!

[@KristyRice]

Perfect! I was researching to see if it was available overseas!

[@irenegarcia5429]

I don't think I've had as much fun or felt more FREE with painting watercolor until I watched your first two beginner videos! Your style of teaching is amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge here on KZbin! By the way, I just purchased the ceramic water container! I have been trying to find something that functions better, because I've just been using jars of water and it was driving me crazy. Can't wait to get it!

[@sallyweston3143]

I love watching your videos

[@diandier77]

I'm new to this video art-teach stuff, & I thoroughly enjoyed this one - the part u said that most resonated with me was when you called the dagger brush a workhorse - you just have to learn how to work it. Being a horse lover I'm sure I'll always think of my dagger as a horse. It feels silky like a horse too. But the real reason I came back to put in a comment was that the still picture of this leafy video - when I first saw it & also after I left, - I thought the paper towel with the haphazard colors beside the brush was a beautiful blossom of some sort in the upper left corner. In fact, I would want to recreate it as a blossom. Maybe with these leaves or whatever comes out of my workhorse brush! Does anyone else see what I saw??

[@KristyRice]

Dian Dier oh wow that is so cool! I never noticed that but I do know that some of the most beautiful patterns appear on the watercolor soaked paper towels!!

[@janineboguslawski535]

Maidenhair fern actually does have some red brown color on the underside of the leaf. It is the spore the plant releases to reproduce. Most ferns reproduce this way though I haven't seen this on the bird nest fern.

I just watched a video where you encourage us to move the paper around. Confusing

[@KristyRice]

Let me help…what was confusing? I encourage both. If you’re up for the challenge and physically able then don’t move the paper but change your hand and brush, but if you want ultimate freedom, love the paper around. This video is also several years old so my approach has evolved a bit!

[@mslynn245]

I am so glad I found you and your free spirit. I started watercolor in 2021, and I was sure I got it. Not! So I find myself coming back to the basics to re-learn what I missed the first time around., Your brush work is amazing and I watched as closely as possible, but my composition doesn't look quite like yours, but maybe because I was using a 1/2" dagger brush. So now, nothing will do but I have to have a 1/4" dagger. While I wait for its arrival, I'll practice leaves with maybe an angled shader. Thanks for your tutorials. I'm in the audience watching!

We need t see ur paint mixtures. That really helps beginners.

[@KristyRice]

Yvette Williams I purposely don’t talk too much about paint mixtures. I really want, beginners especially to not get bogged down in worry over using or mixing the “right” colors. I’ve seen new artists get too wrapped up in color mixing, get frustrated and abandon painting. I want to focus on brushstrokes, the right materials, a positive attitude and let the details come once you’ve become passionate about the process :) Thanks so much for watching! And I’m definitely planning a separate video on my approach to color mixing :)

Kristy, you said something that clicked with me. I am majorly double jointed which is a pain in a lot of areas. Just about everyone will tell you to hold your brush further up, and that just doesn't work for me. I am amazed with the difference I have with control. Lesson learned, not all rules apply to every individual. I sat down and painted my prettiest leaves to date. I have never been heavy handed with water which you have shown to be a good thing. Thank you so much. Now I feel confident to paint in my Summer Cutting Garden book.

Kristy’s put in her ten thousand hours. You can paint like Kristy too once you’ve put in YOUR ten thousand hours! Her painting seems effortless, like a dance between brush, color, and paper. I guarantee it took doing the work, putting in the practice to choreography her beautiful dance.

Gorgeous work! I could watch you paint all day long. Question: I have the 1/8" & 1/4" of these brushes but the tip always splits while I'm painting. I quit using them out of frustration. I have 2 of each, one of each have never been used and the ones that have are still like new. Any suggestions about the issues I'm having?

[@KristyRice]

Oh my goodeness that is really odd! I've never had this issue before and have probably owned nearly 100 of these brushes over the years. BUT it sounds to me like a manufacturing defect honestly. I would reach of to the company (Royal Brush) and see what they suggest. This definitely shouldn't be happening!

Hello Kristy. I am a newbie trying to get the hang of watercolor and having a hard time with leaves in making them look real. Someone recommended you and said you were great with watercolor. Well, I watched your video tonight and listened to your outstanding directions.This was one of the best video's I've seen and plan on continuing to learn from you. You're wonderful, Kristy. But there's just one thing.....I'm left handed. I really did do better with practicing tonight, it just seems like when I go left when everybody else goes right. I was wondering if you had any suggestions. Thank you, Kristi.

[@KristyRice]

Maeve Garcia thank you so much! Goodness I’ve honestly never thought about painting issues for left handers. Shame on me!! I am able to paint with my left hand, albeit slowly so I might suggest trying some leaves with your right to see how it feels. Knowing that feeling may help you better understand how to best adapt this technique for you!
