Paint Watercolor Leaves with this Free Video Demonstration

3-5· 6-8· 9-12

There are few things more beautiful than fall leaves. This video with take you through the process of creating beautiful fall leaves! The finished watercolor leaves make a wonderful display for autumn. I created this lesson for secondary students, but absolutely try it with younger kids too! They will surprise you!!

Here are the steps we used:

  1. Draw leaves lightly in pencil.
  2. Add water to the inside lines of the leaf.
  3. Add pigment color of choice – in the example above I chose yellow.
  4. Blend colors using wet-on-wet technique
  5. Let dry
  6. Add wet-on-dry details
  7. Display the student work to create a colorful Fall display!
