Sometimes when you’re painting watercolour leaves, painting on a certain angle is just really hard! This happens to me all. the. time.
Never fear though, I have some simple tips to make painting watercolour leaves EASY!
3 Tips for Watercolour Leaves:
Rotate your page/turn your paper around when you get to the more difficult bits (so you end up painting in a way that still feels easy for your hand/wrist, rather than twisting your hand around to paint in a way that feels awkward)
Try painting the tricky leaves from the outside of the stem, in towards the stem, e.g. I usually start my leaves from the middle of the stem, and paint them outwards
Change your position! Sometimes your posture can make painting difficult - make sure you’re not slouching, sit up straight and take a deep breath (sounds silly, but it helps you loosen up and relax!)
