Watercolor Leaves (with Jay Lee)

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , 6 Comments

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.

Day 21, 30×30 direct watercolor challenge: roses

Following a live Jay Lee Youtube demonstration, I came up with these roses today (considerably different, I am afraid, than the lovely blossoms Jay Lee painted!) But I like my version and see where I can improve, too.

Two quick painting lessons from a Jay Lee youtube tutorial:

For the tree leaves, we made foil balls about 2″ in diameter, and brushed paint on them, and dabbed them onto the paper all over the branches. I was supposed to use acrylic paint and dip the foil ball in… next time I may try gouache for this. It was fun… try it!
