Minimal Watercolor Botanicals: Paint Simple Leaves & Florals

In this class I will teach you how to paint simple and minimalistic leaves and florals using watercolors.

We will not be covering any complicated techniques of layering or shading using watercolors. Instead, this class focuses on teaching some essential brush control techniques required to make those smooth curvy profiles we always find in nature, and to look at reference pictures of flowers and leaves and paint simplified and sometimes stylised versions of them.

You will learn:

• Various brush control exercises. The class comes with four free practice sheets I’ve designed for improving hand control

• How to get material for inspiration

• How to convert the composition in a reference image to a simplified painting

• To paint different types of leaves and floral bunches with watercolors in a minimal style

Who is this class for?

This class is great for all levels and especially beginners. I invite you to take this class if:

• You are looking for an easy introduction to botanical illustrations

• You are someone who loves to send out beautiful nature inspired cards and notes that you’ve personally painted

• You love to paint as a hobby but don’t usually get enough time to paint something complicated and time consuming

• You are an already trained artist and want to try a new fun style
