During the Jay Lee Watercolor livestream on youtube this morning, first we painted a page full of random pretty leaves, without much detail. These are quite relaxing.

(A cute little keychain I bought from Jerrys Artarama this summer. KIND of a mini posable drawing figure. Not really very posable. But that’s not his fault, and he likes to watch me paint)

Then, I think to prove to us that he can, Jay Lee helped us paint a detailed, more realistic fall leaf.


There has always been something soothing about drawing or painting leaves.
Wow, I just love how the leaf turned out when you did the realistic painting of it. Keep creating. 😍

Beautiful leaves Holly especially the first one. Leaves interest me at the moment with autumn rapidly setting in…

Thank you! Me, too. I’m not sure why, but leaves (and flowers) are really satisfying to paint. 🙂

Wow! That subtle shadow really makes the leaf leap off the page, doesn’t it?
