I have some simple leaves to share withย you today. I always enjoy painting leaves and find it to be quite relaxing.
Happy Sunday, friends!ย ๐๐ฟย
I played with different colors and brushes in this painting. Each stem is angled in a different direction creating a fun pattern of leaves.
Another attempt in a similar style, just enjoying the process without worrying about results.
It kind of reminds me of wallpaper or fabric design.
Painting leaves is a good way to practice brush strokes.
Using more or less pressure on your brush as you paint allows you to vary the shape of your leaves. More pressure equals a wider area and less pressure a narrow area. Combining both in one stroke can create some nice results with a little practice.
I hope you enjoy seeing my work and are inspired to create and have fun. Thank you for stopping by and following me on this creative journey.
Until next time, share a smile and shine on!

Your leaves are so pretty!! I just can’t seem to get the hang of them. I’ve watched so many videos where people do them in one swoop and they turn out perfectly. ๐
