Watercolour Painting - Autumn Leaf | English Autumn | Botanical Illustration

Join me as I take my dogs for an early morning walk in the Kent countryside, and then settle down to paint one of a selection of lovely autumn leaves.
If you want to learn more from me, the best way at the moment is through my Skillshare class (we paint a Tulip!) You can access this class for free for 14 days using the link below:

Nice cinematography to introduce the story and provide character & context 👌

[@helencousinsbotanics]

Ah thanks Matt - noted! I’m getting there with all this slowly 🙈 Painting is easy compared with KZbin! Haha.

[@matthollywood83]

@@helencousinsbotanics Indeed! I’d love to do a proper channel, probably around cinematic drone short films but it’s such an investment of time so fair play!

[@helencousinsbotanics]

I really appreciate good cinematography on here, and I’m so keen to get better, especially with the traveling side of things (incorporated with art!). Who have your favourite channels on here?

[@matthollywood83]

Personally my fave is Peter McKinnon, nice balance of photography, tech and how to’s, and in a very watchable, casual style

Hi Helen, just discovered your channel. I was wondering where did you get your mixing palette from? Your lifestyle and your art are just so inspiring! 🤩😊

[@helencousinsbotanics]

Hi Andrealina! I'm really sorry but I can't remember. I've had it for years! I'm sure there must be some similar ones out there!
