ATTENTION BEGINNERS! Simple & Easy Step-by-Step Watercolor Leaf Painting Techniques with Angle Brush

[@firstart-joys]

Anyone else thinking, ‘What’s not a masterpiece about it?’ ❤ 🤩 Thanks for sharing…

[@lainareeves3755]

First off Liesl, you look beautiful! I hope you're feeling as good as you look! 😊 I’m glad you got in some necessary rest and relaxation! I think I still hear a bit of congestion and will pray that you completely heal this week! What a perfect way to get back into painting with a more simplistic composition. It's not only beautiful, but also the suggestions of using whatever colors we’d like to use sounds like a fun way to be creative. I love the close up shots to see exactly what you’re doing with the brush. That is so helpful! I also think that this type of composition helps us practice brush control. Thanks so much for all you do! 😊💕

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Happy Thursday!! It’s so good to be back! 🎉I keep getting a little better with each day. 🥰 This was just a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable piece to paint. There are definitely a lot of possibilities with it! Sometimes it’s kind of fun to just play around and experiment painting a little without the pressure of needing it to turn out a specific way. 😉 I hope you’re doing well. Thanks for being here. ❤️

[@barryedgington6812]

Hi Liesl, I am so sorry to hear that you were so sick. Thank goodness you are on the mend, although I can hear some congestion in your voice. You look so bright and beautiful! This tutorial is soothing and so lovely hearing you play the piano. The angle brush takes some time to get use to, but you sure know how to use it perfectly! It is perfect for practicing. Take good care Liesl!❤ thank you. Helene

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Thank you Helene, I am getting a little better with each day. 🥰 Yes, the angle brush can take a bit of practice, but it really is so much fun to use! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment today, I truly appreciate it. Take care and happy painting my friend.

[@ChelseaBushman]

Having to miss something you enjoy due to illness is often discouraging, but giving yourself the time you need to rest & recover is vital. So there's no need to feel pressured if you have to miss, Liesl! It was nice to hear your heartfelt greetings upon your return. The light branches which you painted first brought to mind a fuzzy grass which grows here in the Midwest. From the time the grasses are picked until long after they have been dried, they make a lovely bouquet, especially when accented with other flowers (paired with summer blooms, they look softly striking & serene, while with Christmasy florals, they look white & wintry). An elderly gentleman from my church once gathered some as a bouquet for us, and he was so pleased when we displayed them. Once again, Liesl, I appreciated your reflective piano composition, and your gentle & careful watercolor explanations. 😊

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Thank you so much Chelsea, your comment means a lot to me. ❤️ I love hearing the story about the pretty grass you have there! What a fun thing! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to watch. Take care my friend!

[@froggiebaby7946]

I'm not very busy today so I will be practicing this gorgeous painting. You're so detailed when explaining techniques. You're definitely a rare find on youtube. Take care my artist friend and prayers for feeling your best real soon.🥰💕🥰

Hi Lisel, it's so nice to have you back with us. You always bring a smile to our faces. A lovely tutorial as well and I must practice using the angle brushes. I think it made a lovely painting so I hope I'll get a chance to do something similar. I'm ready to get back to your style as I've just completed a rather difficult landscape style painting for a friend. Enjoy your weekend. 🥰x

I really enjoy your lessons! You probably have been asked a hundred times about the size of the paper so let me make it a 101. What are the dimensions of the paper the paper that you use in your lessons? Thank you.

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

I’m glad you’re enjoying my tutorials! I usually buy a 9x12 inch pad of Arches paper, so often I just use it straight from the pad, but I do also like to cut it down sometimes to measure 8x10 if I am planning to frame it simply because I already have frames that size to use. (I use the extra pieces that I cut off as scrap paper to practice brush strokes or test colors on so it doesn’t go to waste. 😊) I believe this particular tutorial was 8x10 inch. Thanks for the question, and happy painting!
