If you want to paint expressive leaves in watercolour, but can’t seem to stay loose or get the look you want, this is the class for you. This beginner-friendly masterclass is perfect for anyone who wants to paint leaves and botanicals like a pro.

From UK-based artist Emily Wassell, this is more than a class on how to paint specific leaf types – I’ll teach you the brushstrokes and watercolour techniques you need to paint any style of leaf, from simple shapes to long leaves, curved branches and stems, and rough textured leaves.

You’ll learn tips and tricks to create simple and complex leaf shapes and add creative effects in watercolour to bring life and details to your work.

For the final projects, we’ll cover tricks to mastering composition for two beautiful botanical pieces.
