    The details of the veins in the leaves and the shadows really bring these to a different level. Thanks for the great tips!

    Hey Kristin loved the fall leaf painting and the shadow really looks so great on them. Makes them pop instead of being so flat. The second leaf you painted with the round edges is an oak leaf. The last one you painted. All so beautiful thank you for sharing. Here in uk the fall colours are looking really good. Enjoy your day 🙌

    Kristin, excellent tutorial! I can’t draw like you but I have some large fall leaf stamps that I’m going to stamp, fussy-up, and trace them with a pencil. I will divinely try this technique! From a fellow-Arizonan! 😊🌵🐾

    I loved this video, the colors you painted the leaves is stunning! And I love your little trick~I am going to try my hand at painting a fall leaves painting this afternoon. I hope my turns out as pretty as yours. I haven't painted in quit a long while. By the way, the leaf that you sketched that you loved so much, is an Oak tree leaf. To be more specific, as there are around 600 known species of Oak trees worldwide, with about 90 known species that grow in North America, the leave you sketched is a Swamp White Oak leaf. Although there are several other species of Oaks that also have rounded lobed leaves, such as, White Oak, Bur Oak, Oregon White Oak, Post Oak, and Chestnut Oak, just to name a few. In fact, all White Oaks have rounded lobes, and all red Oaks have pointed lobes. This trait (pointed or rounded lobes) distinguishes which of the two types of Oaks you may be looking at. Which is helpful when trying to identify a specific species, as it eliminates half of the possibilities. But the Swamp Oak is the only White Oak that I know of, that grows in the U.S., that has asymmetrical lobes. While there are a few oaks with leaves that do not have lobes, all of the leaves are generally symmetrical around a clear median line. That is why I am pretty certain the leaf you sketched and painted, is a Swamp Oak leaf.

    Merci mille fois Kristin pour cette vidéo, les feuilles sont splendides, l automne, ma saison préférée. Je ne sais pas bien dessiner, je récupère des feuilles tombées des arbres et je les utilisent pour dessiner leur contour. Douce journée à vous de la France.💜💜

    Living in the Midwest all my life - love the fall colors of the leaves and the technique you share here. I love using it for background trees (adding branches or hints of branches). And fyi: The rounded edge leaf is an oak leaf 😍. They are common here in Iowa.

    Thank you for the demonstration of one of your "favorite tricks". I know it works because I have used that "trick before. I also have used watercolor pencils with very sharp points to draw the veins when the watercolor base is still wet to damp.

      I zeroed right in on those beautiful dishes and did a search by image! Beautiful pieces. That particular travel size palette is $99 so instead of making an impulse purchase which I had to fight off I decided to make my own at the studio near me!

      I’m not sure how I can do that, BUT something that helps is printing off pictures of leaves and tracing them directly onto your paper. I hope that helps!
