What was your favorite leaf? Which was the most challenging? Do you like cilantro or taste soap?! Let me know in the comments! Don't miss Complete Beginner's Guide to Watercolor FLOWERS: ua-cam.com/video/xIQUd-d6wuM/v-deo.html
Favourite 🍃 leaf 🍂? That’s a trick question: all of them, of course! 😍The most challenging for me were the 2nd and the last one. I’ll re-watch and practice more. Thank you 🙏
I love the way you teach. Your slow demonstrations are the way to go. I see lots of demos and get inpatient with how fast they go without specific explanation. Thank you for taking your time and thoroughly explaining the process.
I’m so glad to find you on UA-cam. Your teaching style is perfect for me. I’m 62 and have been working in accounting for 40+ years and desperately need a creative outlet. Teaching brush strokes has been a game changer for me learning watercolor. Your flower and leave ❤️tutorials are over the top! Thank you so very much! ❤️❤️❤️
Of all the great artist- teachers on UA-cam- I REALLY appreciate your methods- such as explaining how you hold the brush & how to move the maneuver it and paint. Fantastic!
Your the best. You take your time to show us what to do with each. I've watch so many others that just rush so fast I can't catch it. Of course I have no talent as a beginner but you make it look like maybe I can learn as an old lady wanting to enjoy art.
I never dreamed I could watercolor but the way you teach, explain and show exactly how to do each stroke including how to hold the brush, pressure, level of color and your description and comparisons are SO helpful that I’m actually painting with watercolor! I’m taking your guidance and have purchased the supplies you referenced and I’m practicing most days with you. I purchased your beautiful book, Everyday Watercolor which is super helpful! I love it! I’ve passed on your links to my friends so we can paint together. You are a delight! THANK YOU JENNA
Jenna I feel like you think of everything. I decided a couple of weeks ago to give watercolors a try - I have no artistic experience except for some drawing classes I took in college many many LOL years ago. I appreciate your style of teaching and painting. Thanks!
Aw thanks Crystal! The wavey leaf can cause some challenges, it’s just getting that perspective and keeping that brush nice and smooth. It’s a little dance. You’ll get it!
This is the best way to unwind from work. THis si so uniquely calming but just challenging enough for me to actually practice. And as I am never able to figure out sketching I can still get a relatively pretty painting without it. It also holds a little bit of Bob Ross vibes with pretty little flowers and paint what makes you happy.
Just started dabbing into watercolour and this video was a bless! Thank you!! I like the way you show the entire workspace, the colours you are mixing, etc. I wish sometimes I could see better the amount of water/ink you carry on the brush and your dabbing on the tissue to dry it a bit before your first strokes. The MOST DIFFICULT for me is without doubt the tulip long twisted leaf. Can't get it right :( Thanks again and will keep with your videos for my progress!
All of my leaves looked the same. This is just what I needed. My favourite is the long grassy type. I never knew how to make that twisted look. Thank you, again, for these tutorials.
I am so glad I found this channel. I have not picked up my watercolor brushes since my husband died in 2020. This makes me want to go back to painting. Thank you so much! You inspire us all!
I watch your channel for almost a year, and couldn't take the practice, because I was so frustrated about my strokes. Today I received set of Princeton Heritage brushes and I find it all so easy now! My Black Velvet ones are useless with florals this kind. Princeton 4050 rulez! Jenna, thank you so much for your efforts and passion you share
You’re a terrific instructor, teacher and inspiration. I’m so pleased with how you’ve influenced my painting. Your demonstrations are clear, enthusiastic and attainable. Thank you for coming into my life.
Thank you for giving me ideas on different types of leaves. I was getting sick of my same ones. I LOVE your tutorials. Thank you so much for giving such a variety of topics.
omgg thenks sm for this! i'm a twelve year old who recently got interested in water colour painting and your videos are always relaxing and teach me alottt..till now all ik abt watercolours is bcz of you jennaaa ilysmm!
I just love those long flowing leaves - pressure, release, pressure. They did look like they were flowing in the wind. I had so much fun with them!! As always, you are so fun, so real and always teach me something. 😊
Jenna, for the first time I was able to paint along with you during the video. I had to pause you here and there to gather things because I was painting sitting on my bead. Not everything turned out well, but that shows I need more work with those, the last time I tried anything like it I couldn't do it at all. So I am making strides. Thank you always for your constant encouragement. :)
I think I spoke waaaay to early and brashly about it being time to take on Big Pink. Yeah.. ima gonna go back to basics and rebuild my way back up and then its game on! :D
Liebe Jenna, es hat mir noch nie soviel Spaß gemacht zu malen! Mit dir ist es so entspannend❤. Ich übe bei dir Schritt für Schritt! Ich habe dich abonniert! Liebe Grüße von Gisela aus Germany 😊
I was painting all afternoon. Your wavy, grassy leaves look the most challenging. I like cilantro as an ingredient but it is a bit soapy on its own. My windows are bursting with fresh green plants. My next painting will be the Easter items. Thanks for spending time with us today!!
Oh you get some of the soapy taste? Isn’t that weird that some people taste that and others don’t? Haha. Love the sound of your windows, btw. Happy painting, Cynthia!
@@JennaRaineyChannel it’s genetic! Another interesting genetic item is whether you can smell the weird asparagus pee odor! Ahh, asparagus would be a lovely watercolor leaf subject!! Thanks so much for these, I am new, new, new and your lessons are super useful.💗
I love this Jenna. I can't wait to try them out again. I will be on a cross-country trip to my home from LA to Daytona Beach. FINALLY. It helps me to watch several times studying your hand position and water use.
I liked learning how to paint a rose leaf And I love the taste of cilantro and feel badly that it tastes like soap to some people cuz it's such a nice flavor in Mexican and Thai cuisine.
Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Watching your several videos have boosted my confidence in watercolours and somehow your mantra of 'practice, practice' has latched on. Your methods are so simple to follow and the outcome is amazing. Can't wait to dive into another of your tutorial video.
so nice to learn something new :) and I love the music in the background! so relaxing and helps me not being too hard to myself while exploring new territory :D thank you Jenna!!
I've been working on my landscapes lately, which I'm bad at. So it's frustrating. And then I saw there was a new leaves tutorial and I love painting leaves so much and this feels like my reward for forcing myself to try to do better at landscapes. Thank you! I needed this today!
So glad this leaf tutorial was a relief for you! Landscapes can be tricky, but I’m proud to hear you’re giving it a go. If you haven’t seen, I have a few landscape tutorials to help you out! There’s a mountain, misty forest, desert, and a night sky... you can find those in a landscape playlist on my channel homepage!
Love your leaves! Once again difficult to choose a favorite. I haven't tried painting these yet so I don't know which one is most difficult. Cilantro: I used to hate cilantro. If a dish had a cilantro leaf in it, the whole thing was tainted. I don't know what happened, but now I love fresh cilantro! You painted a really cute bunch of cilantro! I also really love your eucalyptus leaves. Precious! Thanks, Jenna, we now have lots to keep us busy, busy, busy! 💜🙏🏻
How funny! Isn't weird how your food taste can just change like that? I love cilantro and am glad you have joined the cilantro team. 😉 Have fun painting these leaves, Colleen!
You are so great, at painting and teaching. I really like your loose style approach and peaceful videos, but also how you drop in some technique tips here and there. Thanks for making all these videos! Subscribed. I want to paint a whole paper full of tulip leaves, so beautiful :)
Thank you for doing these tutorials. I'm working hard to master these. As a beginner they are all hard. All about the practice though gotta start somewhere.
Instant « thumbs up » because...well, we love your beautiful spirit, and because, once again, you’re making watercolour accessible ...and FUN 🤩 I’m getting better thanks 🙏 to you and your book!) Regards to John and your baby! Love ❤️ y’all!
Loved the leaves and trying to paint them. My favorite leaf was the rose leaf and the tulip leaf. I struggled with cilantro and the tiny leaves tree branch
I loved the jagged edge leaf. I had trouble with the little cutie baby leaves. I don't think I had enough paint on my brush....couldn't get them to look like a leaf shape as in your example. Thank you for the description as you paint. So helpful. Like that I can pause to watch the stroke of the brush. :)

I liked that autumnal leaf with the serrated edges 🍁 🍂 it’s something I’ve never tried before
I’d definitely gotten stuck on green leaves
Favourite 🍃 leaf 🍂? That’s a trick question: all of them, of course! 😍The most challenging for me were the 2nd and the last one. I’ll re-watch and practice more. Thank you 🙏
haven't yet tasted cilantro..will get back to you
You are an excellent teacher. Thx for sharing!
I would like more peony & rose leaf practice! Picked up some great tips on this one. Thank you Jenna!
🍃 “Leaves are like little music notes 🎶 floating around the flowers “
💐 what a lovely poetic thing to say
That was a little poetic, wasn’t it? 😂

Wow that’s so sweet of you to say! Thank you! I’m very happy to hear my instructions are helpful. ❤️❤️
Loads of fun and learning! Thank you 🎨
You are by far the best teacher for watercolor painting. Thank you. All leaves are very helpful.
🤗 YAY! I always default to painting leaves. Something new is always appreciated 😁
Especially now while I wait for greens outside.
Leaves are so much fun to paint! Glad you’re happy to see this one!
So lovely. The long ones flowing in the wind are my favorite. Definitely going to try this out.
That tulip blowing in the wind. That’s my fave for sure!!
We miss your uploads 📖 🎥
I didn’t know you liked that one so much, John. 😉
Your the best. You take your time to show us what to do with each. I've watch so many others that just rush so fast I can't catch it. Of course I have no talent as a beginner but you make it look like maybe I can learn as an old lady wanting to enjoy art.
Except one, I drew every other leaf with you. Thanks for being such a fantastic teacher.
You are an amazing teacher!💕

Jenna I feel like you think of everything. I decided a couple of weeks ago to give watercolors a try - I have no artistic experience except for some drawing classes I took in college many many LOL years ago. I appreciate your style of teaching and painting. Thanks!
I love watching you paint the highly pigmented leaves, so the last one was my favorite. I can’t wait to paint along.
Oh I hope you have so much fun, Cindy! ❤️
The cilantro blew my mind. Love painting it. Loved the results. The wavey leaf is the most challenging!
Aw thanks Crystal! The wavey leaf can cause some challenges, it’s just getting that perspective and keeping that brush nice and smooth. It’s a little dance. You’ll get it!
Your leaves sample demo is a work of art in itself..!
Thanks Jenna, I've already started practicing. Very difficult but I won't give up. Greetings LalitaVarma ®
Thank you for your inspiring leaf video. I am a senior beginner and of all the videos out there I am enjoying you the most.
I liked the addition of jagged edges on rose leaves and also the rust tone leaves. Thank you

You’re so welcome, Sharon! I’m glad to hear this was helpful!
You are an amazing talented artist and your teaching skills are wonderful. You’re a sweetheart! 🌺🌿❤
Thanks for the practice. The cilantro was fun. Like a little tree. Love the ribbon like leaves too. Helping me get outside my boring comfort zones.
❤️❤️
I love the eucalyptus! Those colors and shapes are beautiful, as well as the contrast of a light mint green color with brown.

Great video, very helpful lesson!

Thank. You. Jenna
I like your cilantro more than what I'm growing in my garden! Great work.
I really liked this and appreciate this video. Wasn't sure how to get started on the leaves. Newbie at painting
Very helpful. Thank you!
Liebe Jenna, es hat mir noch nie soviel Spaß gemacht zu malen! Mit dir ist es so entspannend❤. Ich übe bei dir Schritt für Schritt! Ich habe dich abonniert! Liebe Grüße von Gisela aus Germany 😊
Thank you so much, Jenna. The most challenging for me was the long, curvy trio. But I enjoyed each and everyone of them.
Thanks for sharing, Lia! Ya those ones take practice, need to get used to those movements. They’re fun tho!

My favorite leaf was the garden leaf. Had a very hard time with the jagged red leaf. Had a fun time with these. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing Ella, glad to hear you painted along!
Thank you so much, they are all beautiful. I think the six and seven are the most difficult ones. Practice makes perfect.
I am just starting to watercolor & everything looks like a first grader did it. I am just enjoying watching all aspects
As long as you’re enjoying yourself! Keep painting and you’ll keep graduating!
I love the cilantro leaves... a bit of a different look!
Thanks Jennifer! ❤️
Super ! Thank you for clear explanations.

Thank you Jenna 🤗 your tutorials are SO helpful, informative and tranquil!!! Love and light xx Terry
loved this!
I’m working on being looser and not so tight and symmetrical . Love these.
Loved the leaves and trying to paint them. My favorite leaf was the rose leaf and the tulip leaf. I struggled with cilantro and the tiny leaves tree branch
That was really helpful.
I liked added details after initial shapes dry. Couldn’t quite get the hang of the cilantro leaves, maybe another time. Practice, practice!
You can do it, Claudia! ❤️❤️
I like to see more leaves and then focus on composite leaves like figue. Maple etc. That would really be awesome! But love this video too!

I struggle so hard with leaves. This was very helpful and beginner friendly 🌻 I realllly struggled with the autumn leave! 🍁🍂

I really learned alot in here thanks:)))
