It's time to let go a little with this wet-on-wet leaf bouquet composition.
Let's paint this colorful and fanciful leaf composition using wet-onwet techniques and lots of color.
Colors I use in this video:
Dioxizine Purple
Quinacridone Magenta
Sap Green
Phthalo Blue
Transparent Pyrrol Orange
Quin Gold
Cobalt Blue
I'll be using my QOR palette. But you can find all the colors in other popular brands like Daniel Smith, M. Graham, Windsor and Newton and Sennelier
Let's paint!

QOR paints travel beautifully. Brands like Holbein and Mijello Mission Gold don't travel much because they don't contain oxgall. If you have slow moving paints you can add a little oxgall into your rinse water and that should help them blend more on the paper.

I live my QOR paints. Great recommendation for those other brands.

again, thank you, Shana. your tutorials are well-thought-out: color theory, strokes, water & paint, value & depth, brush size, control, paper that are all in 1 piece to produce a lovely finished piece. definintely encouraging to all, especially for beginners like me.

Just had to drop a comment regarding this specific video. I enjoy all of your videos tremendously, but this one struck a cord with me. I am picking up watercolor painting after many years, and I definitely have “control” issues which has stymied my loose application in the painting of flowers. So many of the comments you made while painting this project felt like you were talking to me specifically/directly. Thank you for not only your beautiful artwork but your teaching style as well. It’s very unique, you are quite the talent. Thank you so much.

i tried this technique today and couldn’t get the colour to run smoothly in the water leaves. i either got cauliflowers or the colour just sat there and didn’t transition into the water leaf like yours does in this video, any tips? i’m using winson and smith paint

@shanacirce2667 2 ай бұрын

Sometimes it’s the paper and sometimes it’s the paint that can make this process a little different. Cauliflowers are harder to avoid if you are using a cellulose (non cotton) paper. And water tends to sit on the surface while it dries rather than absorb through the fibers. Some paints need a little more help traveling and you may need to push them along with a damp brush. Keep practicing with the materials you have and you will learn their quirks. I hope that helps. 😊
