  • Learn to incorporate watercolor and floral line drawing in this simple tutorial. Add a little lettering to make these into cards or framed art.
    Full step by step instructions with photos at: www.lesliewritesitall.com/whimsical-watercolor-trees-and-simple-floral-drawings
    Tools:
    Blick Premier watercolor block 140 lb cold press ➡
    Watercolors in various colors (I'm using Winsor and Newton Professional Watercolors in tubes that I put into a palette) ➡ amzn.to/2CghOOw
    Princeton Velvetouch 3950 watercolor brushes in round 12 ➡ amzn.to/2Cg3Vjw
    Blicks Master Synthetic watercolor brush in round 10 ➡
    Sakura Pigma Micron 05 ➡ amzn.to/2BrUKzJ
    Sakura Pigma Graphic 1 ➡ amzn.to/2sqHpEF
    Zebra fude disposable brush pen in medium tip ➡ amzn.to/2Bp07PU
    Step 1: Watercolor shapes in ovals, circles, and triangles
    Begin by painting some simple shapes in a variety of colors. You want to create variation and variety in your painting by changing the shapes and sizes. These larger shapes will eventually be the trees that we draw in. Keeping them in different sizes will give your painting some more interesting elements.
    Step 2: Draw inside watercolor shapes
    Once the painting is dry, we can start drawing. Make the first mark by drawing a line through the center of the shape. This will be the tree trunk for which you draw leaves and other branches from.
    Once the trunks are drawn in, begin drawing the branches and embellishing them. Here is where we can get really creative with shapes and geometric patterns. I varied each tree to make them all unique and different. Some trees are more elaborate and have whimsical leaves with berries and others just have a single dot at the ends.
    Step 3: Add lettering
    Lastly, we want to add some lettering. You can use a pen to sketch ahead of time so you can figure out spacing of your words. Another option, which I prefer, is to write your phrase on a scrap piece of paper first and use it as a guide. I began with a sans serif font written in the Sakura Pigma Graphic 1 pen and ended with a brush calligraphy style in the Zebra fade disposable brush pen in medium.
    Step 4: Trim as needed
    Trim your paper if you need to.
    And that's it! Try to be creative by changing the colors of the trees and improving your embellishments to the tree drawings.

    L I can’t really leave a comment to what I would like to see because I’m so new I don’t even know what I need to know. However your whimsical flowers going to be a good project for me as I learn the different mediums such as watercolors and acrylic paints. I think you very much. I don’t intend to sell anything but I’m having so much fun I feel like a child who has just discovered mud puddles .

    Omg! Looks too good to have been painted and drawn! Looks printed! That lettering was just like 😱😱😱 how on earth did you do that? I could rewatch it a hundred times and still not figure out how you did that! There's definitely a knack to the way you did that, that simply can't be "taught". Just beautiful! I never would have believed this was done by hand if I hadn't witnessed it happening. Had to subscribe! 😘😘😘

    I am glad I stumbled upon you today looking for simple watercolor paintings to make thank you cards out of. New subscriber now and looking forward to more of your videos on my days off and at night when I can relax. I find painting to be so relaxing when I am stressed out or even tired. It may be intimidating at first but once I get going its very relaxing and addicting. These type of paintings are nice as anyone can do them no matter what skill level your at, and you can make them into any type of card you want or wall art. Thanks for sharing.

    • @LeslieWritesItAll
      @LeslieWritesItAll  3 роки тому +1

      If you're just starting, try using colors that are similar first! Try mixing your pinks with orange or yellow to get new colors. When you're feeling more adventurous, you can start experimenting with colors that are further away from each other on the color wheel!

    Enjoyed your creative, whimsical style plus I love trees, birds and nature subjects. Your voice is also sweet and soothing. Try not to “vocal fry” (google it), especially since you’re using your voice a lot. The “vocal fry” will take its toll over time.

    • @LeslieWritesItAll
      @LeslieWritesItAll  2 роки тому

      I don't cover my watercolors with anything but if you were planning to display, make sure to use "archival quality" art supplies (high quality paper that's acid free, light fast watercolor). Then I would look for a picture frame with maybe a museum quality glass (to protect it from light). The last part is pretty expensive and extra. I think using archival quality is good enough.
