Watercolor Leaf Stamping featuring Oak Leaves

In this video, we'll use oak leaves as stamps to create two watercolor paintings. We'll talk about some composition basics as well as a couple of tips for creating paintings that compliment each other. Leaf stamping is a fun and easy way to create beautiful art to hang on your wall or to make seasonal cards and crafts. Give it a try and enjoy!

I love this little video..great for warming up. I love fall leaves and for the first time. I am getting ready to do a study adding falling fall leaves. Wow that was a mouthful. I love these ideas. You can also add lots of fall watercolor on the sheet and let it dry with a plastic bag and once its dry you can sketch out the fall leaves. Perfect video for Sunday first day of Fall. Thanks Maria

So glad you enjoyed the video! I love the idea of the fall-colored background with texture and leaf sketches. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your study!

Beautiful! I did that not too long ago with multiple different leaves, but it didn't turn out quite like I wanted. I'm going to try this. I love fall leaf colors, some of them are so multicolored, it's gorgeous. As an artist, I want to recreate that beauty.

Thanks so much! I love the fall colors, too. So much inspiration! Happy creating. :)

Lovely. Did this last year with a perfect maple leaf, but I used it as an outline. I'll try this this year.

Awesome! Maple leaves would be so pretty! I might have to try that.

This is lovely… I wonder if acrylic would be more effective at keeping the colour in place when transferring to paper!

[@abstractsbyanna]

Thank you! Yes, I think acrylic would keep more of the color in place, but it would also create a different look overall. Just depends on what you're going for. :)

@@abstractsbyanna of course, I love the fluid look and the vibrant colours you’ve created!
