How to Paint a Fall Leaf - Beginner Autumn Watercolor Tutorial
Hi Please tell me which video to start this playlist (and the sequence) I appreciate your teaching technique. Thanks
Lovely wreath!
Thanks Cathy!
So enjoy doing mini paintings then do inking around them!
I have to try using purple & yellow to do some mountains. Don’t have the cad yellow but do have a PY154 yellow by Da Vinci going to see what can get! Trying to use complementary color for shading, muting & just go for it! Ty..
Sounds amazing! Let me know how it turns out!
So pretty
Thank you!
Love this idea! Going to try the loose brush strokes. Sounds like a good practice in trusting the process. 💙
It sure is! Have fun! 🤩
예뻐요❤❤❤
Love it! I’m excited to try it!
You should! Have fun 🥳
❤❤❤
wow you are sooo good ty for your content
You’re welcome! Thank you for your compliment!
So beautiful…you are amazingly talented! Thanks for sharing your talents and being an inspiration! ❤
@@michelleevans9240 aww thank you! You’re so kind 🥰
❤🎉thx for the teaching
You’re very welcome! I hope you enjoy painting!
yess! I'm so tired of people scamming beginner artists. this is the best advice you'll ever get. I can literally see it in my art how much it goes from 5/10 to a 10/10 when I use a reference.
Yes!! I don’t know why some people look down on reference photos. It’s so important and helpful!
@@alyssawhetstoneart yeah a friend of mine that wants to learn drawing showed me a video of a dude saying ,,dont use references cause thats how you learn" like no, if I want to draw a motorbike I have no clue how the details look like until I actually learn them by looking at it
Wow 😂
The sweatband is a nice touch.
It’s seriously the best
Thanks i needed that 🙂 it’s reassuring to know that others go through the same struggles I do when it comes to what you feel about yourself and your art
Yes! Success motivates us to keep painting but if we don’t use references and look closer we’ll likely not make art we’re proud of!
I’m so glad this video helped! Keep on creating!
Your art is lovely, Alyssa Whetstone! I was hoping for a side by side comparison at the end. Haha!
That would have been a great idea 🤪 thanks!
I’m so sorry I still don’t understand how to see as an artist. I get the practice bit. And I get looking at the leaf but it doesn’t really explain
I agree with this constructive feedback, Jadex56. I would have survived some clarity about how exactly we can see like artists or a few tips to help us get there.
idk if this is what they mean but how I do it is look at the whole picture like the whole shape and sketch it out very loosely so I get the proportions right and placement, then I slowly erase and sketch it till it looks less like a blur but more like a proper sketch. then I basically repeat the process until I add the details last (whole time trying to make everything accurate to the reference). (tip: put more time into sketching and the whole process than you think, it'll look nicer and more accurate)
I wish I could fit all my advice into one short clip, but this was more of a quick reminder. Check out some of my longer tutorials to get more in depth explanation ❤️
Thanks for taking the time to explain what works for you!
Aren’t they evergreens
Yep 😂 but it's such a fun technique I decided "whatever"
Looks great!
Thank you!
Living for that “moody background” 🖤🖤🖤
Excellent me too 😍

They r very pretty
Thank you!
So beautiful. You make it seem so easy.
Thanks, it is! I hope you try it!
@@alyssawhetstoneart I will. If it turns out only half as good as yours I will be very pleased.
A cute little toaster ☺️
Love that idea!
We can't hear you talking over the music
Thanks for telling me! I actually meant to mute my self and just have the music... 🙃
@@alyssawhetstoneart I thought so :)
I love it!
Thank you!
I have never found a “waterbrush” that keeps letting the water come out? Then have no control over how much comes out 🤔.
I've definitely noticed some are easier to get the water out than others. You do need to squeeze it each time you want a small amount of water, so it makes it more difficult to do large washes. Since I use it for sketching on the go, I don't typically need a large amount of water. Figuring out how to control the amount of water will come with practice! Good luck!
Not bad at all! The song is worse. Makes my brain hurt lol 😅
lol sorry about that!
Didn’t even notice as far to distracted by the beautiful painting. 🥰
Aww thank you!
As a person who paints don’t see how any polish stays on or the stick on ones! Must be some strong glue!
right??? I'm glad I'm not alone!
Didn't even notice until it was pointed out
Excellent!
Seen a few brushes that have that bend but still trying to find a more “firm” rigger brush. Even one from Princeton bit to soft & know that other one takes practice but love way you did kettle!
I totally get it! Hunting for the right brush is a journey. Thanks and good luck!
Reallll
I love this! Thanks for sharing
I'm glad to hear it! You're welcome!
Thank you for the over all run down about the brushes. and the wrist band yes I shall be tracking those down.
You're very welcome! I hope you find joy in more painting on the go!
Love it😊
Thanks! Happy painting!
Great video! Thank you for taking the "mystery" out of water brush pens. I've had one sitting in a drawer for years, but I've not felt comfortable enough to use it. You have inspired me to take take the plunge! 😀
We creatives love to collect supplies but never use them 😂 I'm glad you're ready to try it! Have fun!
I can't wait to try this...and I love your explanation of planning the color layout...thanks for sharing
I'm glad you enjoyed it, happy painting!
Hi Mrs whetstone it’s me Hayat and Yahya
Hi you guys! I miss you! I hope you give some watercolor painting a try :) Have a great summer!
Love these so much!
Thanks! Glad you like them!
Brilliant! Im looking forward to doing this. I’ve been away from painting for too long; this is a wonderful exercise to gently step back in.
Wonderful! Have fun!
Ooh, this was so satisfying to watch, Alyssa, thank you for sharing your process. You made it so well, I felt I was in the room with you watching and learning. So many tips and keeping-it-real stuff that I appreciated very much. One thing I missed was a closer view when you did the detail of branches in brown in the upper area. I like the palette and the way there is so much space in it, and I also found it comforting to hear just yellow and brown rather than cadmium yellow, or Van Dyke brown and such, so the focus is on the general idea of colour and we can see what we'd like to use in our own paintbox. I'm going to subscribe and hope to try this out.
Thanks for your kind feedback! I'll try to zoom in closer to small stuff like branches in future videos. I also get overwhelmed by fancy color names so I'm glad I'm not alone... XD
Like this tutorial x
Thanks for watching!
Love this whole thing! I haven't made a Mother's Day card since I was little. I might try this! Is the blue a specific shade? I really like the color. I liked the first layer, which reminded me of clouds, but the final reminded me of blue woodwork. Very nice!
Thanks, I hope you try it! I believe the blue is an indigo of some kind... I'm bad at keeping track of my exact colors! 😂
Such a fun project! I’ve always loved photographing windows. Allyssa as a side note, and concern, please ask your doctor about the color of your fingernails it may be a sign of lack of oxygen in your blood.
❤❤❤
Love it!
Thank you!
❤loved this
Thank you!
❤❤❤
I love how you transformed blobs of color into fun birds with personality! I'm going to try it! Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome! Have fun!
I think this is one of the cutest projects I've seen! Definitely going to paint this. Thank you. 🙏❤️
Yay! Thank you! Have so much fun 🥳
