Elegant Cascading Watercolor Leaves with Peggy Dean

I’m thrilled to bring you my step-by-step process when creating loose, elegant leaves. I find that loose watercolor techniques can oftentimes feel intimidating to many and I’m here to tell you that it’s quite the opposite! In fact, this style will most likely come easier to you than any other that you’ve tried.

I’m going to take it a step further by not only showing you the very simple brush strokes needed to achieve this style, but also how to create layers of opacity to really enhance the effect and make your leaves demand the attention they deserve. This is a project that can be created as a standalone piece, added to invitations, table place cards, wedding suites, you name it. They never go out of style.
