How to paint a watercolour fern leaf (Episode 2)

Updated: Feb 16, 2021

This tutorial is lots of fun, painting lovely simple watercolour fern leaves inspired by the Tasmanian wilderness.

In this tutorial we will be using various watercolour brushstrokes, as well as 'wet into wet technique' and 'wet on dry technique'. This is an excellent beginner watercolour tutorial - I encourage you to embrace the messy wobbly lines and imperfections, and have FUN!

For this beginner watercolour tutorial you will need various watercolour materials, including watercolour paints, watercolour brush/es, watercolour paper, two jars of water and some paper towel or a cloth. I also have a free watercolour supplies guides (below)!
