In this video, I’m sharing the brushstrokes and techniques that I use to paint leaves and foliage in gouache. You can use these basic shapes and brushstrokes to make a variety of different types of plants. I look forward to sharing many more plant and nature painting videos that will build on this one so please keep an eye out! I’m sorry that the camera is grainy in some areas or that some angles are difficult to see. I’m learning as I go with making these videos and I’ll try to improve in the next one!
