Here is a fun round-up of what foliage we've learnt so far with a few surprises and alternative methods thrown in.
If you've enjoyed this video and would like to support me further take a look at my Patreon page at bit.ly/3briO5P to see what we've got to offer.
As important as it is to paint in detail, it's so handy to have a mini, simplified version handy. Perfect for borders and wreaths, the miniature versions are often just the same technique with a smaller brush but there are a few techniques to learn too.
I'd love to hear your suggestions for things you would like to learn how to paint in the comments below.

Very useful, you explain things and methods very well 😊
Thanks so much Carol
Even just watching these videos, does wonders for my mental health. They are both relaxing and motivating. I can choose which one. Thank you Harriet. I was getting quite frustrated at not being very good at watercolour. But I must keep practicing practicing practicing, and maybe one day, I’ll be able to paint as good as you 🙏
Oh thank you so much!
Beautiful!
Alway such a treat to paint light, airy and without too much of a forced hand, while listening to your happy birds outside the window. These are lovely, Harriet! Thank you.

Ah thanks Frances!
Lefty problems!! From writing and painting, always some smudges on my left hand~! :)
Love your videos. Very helpful and easy to follow. Thank you .
So glad
This is such a fabulous video…and excited to try the wreath. Thank you for inspiring me to revisit botanicals …❤
Wonderful!
Superb pace and content, thank you
You're very welcome!
Perfect! Fantástico! Thanks 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍😍✨✨✨✨✨✨❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for watching!
Your leaves look like they are going to pop off the page they are so beautiful and so real looking! I really enjoy watching you paint! Thank you
Ah thanks Denise!
⚾️ looks so easy....will try
You should!
Super lesson. Thanks!
No worries!
As a fellow left hander, I particularly appreciate your tutorials.
Thank you Harriet 💛
You are so welcome!
😍 stunning
Thank you!! 😊
Your angles, stem curvature, and leaf placement always look so natural and just "right" - nothing ever seems to look stiff or awkward. I'm hoping that practice will continue to improve mine - your tips are really helpful.
Hey Kim, Thanks so much, I'm glad you think so. The natural feel comes from regular practice but it's also a bit tricky to do on camera so I'm particularly pleased it comes across ok.
I enjoyed learning these techniques so much! It’s become obvious that I need to invest in better brushes as mine don’t come to a crisp point. I used these forms to create a wreath painting. It turned out very pretty. Thank you!
That sounds lovely Leslee
I'm amazed at how natural and realistic your paintings look! Not cartoonish as some tutorials make things look. I appreciate that soooo much! Thank you. I find your tutorials very relaxing and satisfying~
Thanks so much Ann!
Your work and your voice are sooo relaxing ! 🌸. Thank you, really helping me on different levels.
Ah thank you Emilie, I'm so glad you are finding these videos helpful
I’ve watched this video twice, now I need to spend time practicing this image.
Have fun!
Hello Harriet, thank you for your beautiful tutorials. I came across your channel only last week, but you have made such an impact, I have ordered and received your beautiful book. I’m enrolled in my first art class next week, that being Watercolour classes.
I’m also left handed, so it it lovely to see how you go about using and holding the brushes. I hope to be as good as you one day in the distant future…
Best wishes from Dianne in Melbourne xx

Thanks so much for watching Kathy
Thank you so very much! I have been enjoying all of your previous leaf tutorials. I have to say that I especially like the style of leaves you painted in this video tutorial. The colors you chose to use are also quite lovely. I can't wait to give these leaves a try.
The nice thing about leaf painting is whatever shape you paint there is a leaf out there somewhere that looks just like it!
Yes! perfect!
Thanks Deanna, have you also had a go at my autumn leaves tutorial too? There is plenty of inspiration outside.
Incredibly helpful! I’m loving your videos. Thanks so much 💖
You are so welcome!
Beautiful leaves--simple, yet quite elegant. The ferns are just lovely! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Kathleen, yes this is a really simple fern which looks lovely. There is a more detailed tutorial a few episodes back if you want to go more in depth.
I will definitely try this. Love your work.
Thanks!
Another beautiful video!
Thank you very much Harriet!
I enjoyed learning from you!
Have a wonderful week!
Thank you! You too!
Excellent tutorial on leaves. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Another lovely card working. I have to say this was so above my league, though I hope to one day be able to create something as lovely. You share such brilliant teachings.
Thank you so much!
This is a beautiful leaf sampler of perfection! I’m going to give it a try! Thanks..
Wonderful!
Lovely.
Thanks!
Thank you so much! You are a wonderful teacher!!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful. Thku for sharing Harriet.
No worries Ruth x
Thanks, I love your videos! As a watercolour beginner, I'm learning a lot from them.
You are so welcome!
Loved this. You make it look so effortless (even if you are a lefty!😂) My favourite was the serrated leaf! Looking forward to the wreath tutorial 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
For rounded leaves try a filbert brush sometime. I’ve just discovered it! Your painting is wonderful.
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the tutorial! I like your drawings a lot! Sometimes it’s a bit challenging to see your drawings which is outside the screen range :( and wondering if it would be able to have the top view for the drawing steps? Thank you!!!
As we made more videos we improved on this
I just cannot get thin stems!
Keep practising!
