Painting leaves, especially for beginner artists, can feel like a daunting task. The delicate veins, the subtle gradations of colour, and the challenge of capturing the realistic texture can make any beginner artist’s heart skip a beat.

But let me assure you that what might appear as a complex puzzle is actually a beautifully solvable mystery.

In this class, I will dispel those initial fears and hesitations. Together, we will unravel the steps of painting a realistic leaf in watercolour, breaking down each stage into manageable and enjoyable phases.

Throughout the class, I will guide you through every step of the artistic process. From the moment you mix your first colours on your palette to the final intricate details that add depth and realism.

No secrets will be kept – I’m here to share every brush stroke and every technique that
transforms a blank canvas into a masterpiece.

But that’s not all – I have included a tracing of the leaf I’ve painted.
This tracing serves as a friendly guide, ready to support you if you choose to replicate the process or experiment with your own creative twists.

NOTE: The tracing is more detailed than the leaf I paint, I left the extra details in case you want to add more to your leaf, but feel free to paint a simplified version like I do.

I've also included for you a step by step PDF guide with lots of pictures that you can download and keep.

So, gather your watercolors, palette, brushes, and paper, and let’s embark on this artistic adventure together.

By the end of the class, you’ll not only hold in your hands a remarkable leaf painting but also the confidence to approach any artistic challenge with newfound skill and excitement. Together, we’ll prove that painting a realistic leaf is not just an attainable goal but a joyful and rewarding endeavor.
