Thank you Jenna 🤗 your tutorials are SO helpful, informative and tranquil!!! Love and light xx Terry

Thanks so much, Jenna. Looking forward to trying these.

I can’t wait to dig into this one! You’re awesome and I so appreciate your tutorials! Thank you Jenna!

Wonderful, patient detailing. Thank you!

Totally enjoyed this tutorial. I wanted to know how to paint different leaves, and this was very helpful!

Love this. Can’t wait to try it.

Super ! Thank you for clear explanations.

I love the eucalyptus! Those colors and shapes are beautiful, as well as the contrast of a light mint green color with brown.

80K, congrats, Jenna. Great watercolor tutorials - keep ‘em coming!! Thank you 😊😊😊

🤗 YAY! I always default to painting leaves. Something new is always appreciated 😁 Especially now while I wait for greens outside.

Your leaves sample demo is a work of art in itself..!

So lovely. The long ones flowing in the wind are my favorite. Definitely going to try this out.

You are so great, at painting and teaching. I really like your loose style approach and peaceful videos, but also how you drop in some technique tips here and there. Thanks for making all these videos! Subscribed. I want to paint a whole paper full of tulip leaves, so beautiful :)

so nice to learn something new :) and I love the music in the background! so relaxing and helps me not being too hard to myself while exploring new territory :D thank you Jenna!!

Loved the red leaf Esp the wavy edge.

Loads of fun and learning! Thank you 🎨

You are an amazing teacher!💕

Thank you - so lovely - and you make it look so easy...

I love the way you teach. Your slow demonstrations are the way to go. I see lots of demos and get inpatient with how fast they go without specific explanation. Thank you for taking your time and thoroughly explaining the process.

they're all beautiful! Thx very much for this tut

I love watching you paint the highly pigmented leaves, so the last one was my favorite. I can’t wait to paint along.

You are an amazing talented artist and your teaching skills are wonderful. You’re a sweetheart! 🌺🌿❤

A great tutoiral Thank you so much---with wonderful expanlnations

I love this Jenna. I can't wait to try them out again. I will be on a cross-country trip to my home from LA to Daytona Beach. FINALLY. It helps me to watch several times studying your hand position and water use.

I liked the addition of jagged edges on rose leaves and also the rust tone leaves. Thank you

I really love this channel it makes me soo interested with watercolour

I’m so glad to find you on RU-vid. Your teaching style is perfect for me. I’m 62 and have been working in accounting for 40+ years and desperately need a creative outlet. Teaching brush strokes has been a game changer for me learning watercolor. Your flower and leave ❤️tutorials are over the top! Thank you so very much! ❤️❤️❤️

Very very helpful and inspiring Thanks so much for teaching me and sharing your ideas

You are by far the best teacher for watercolor painting. Thank you. All leaves are very helpful.

Thank you for your inspiring leaf video. I am a senior beginner and of all the videos out there I am enjoying you the most.

Thank you so much, they are all beautiful. I think the six and seven are the most difficult ones. Practice makes perfect.

Thank you I can't wait to try it

Awesome video! I'm just learning to paint and this video on leaf painting was fantastic. Thanks so much!!!!!

The cilantro blew my mind. Love painting it. Loved the results. The wavey leaf is the most challenging!

That tulip blowing in the wind. That’s my fave for sure!!

You are an excellent teacher! Thx for sharing!

I loved the Cilantro! I struggled with big wavy leaves! Having said that I also love the fall leaves and would love more of those!

Thanks for the practice. The cilantro was fun. Like a little tree. Love the ribbon like leaves too. Helping me get outside my boring comfort zones.

I like your cilantro more than what I'm growing in my garden! Great work.

Beautiful!! It looks so easy, but it's not!!!You are really artistic!! Thanks for sharing your videos!!

Very helpful - thanks!❤

I just love those long flowing leaves - pressure, release, pressure. They did look like they were flowing in the wind. I had so much fun with them!! As always, you are so fun, so real and always teach me something. 😊

I never dreamed I could watercolor but the way you teach, explain and show exactly how to do each stroke including how to hold the brush, pressure, level of color and your description and comparisons are SO helpful that I’m actually painting with watercolor! I’m taking your guidance and have purchased the supplies you referenced and I’m practicing most days with you. I purchased your beautiful book, Everyday Watercolor which is super helpful! I love it! I’ve passed on your links to my friends so we can paint together. You are a delight! THANK YOU JENNA

Thanks so much for this tutorial… love doing leaves…

This is the best way to unwind from work. THis si so uniquely calming but just challenging enough for me to actually practice. And as I am never able to figure out sketching I can still get a relatively pretty painting without it. It also holds a little bit of Bob Ross vibes with pretty little flowers and paint what makes you happy.

I need this tutorial in my tool box! Love painting leaves, but tend to just use one or two types over and over. Thank you. Great reference page❣️

Jenna I feel like you think of everything. I decided a couple of weeks ago to give watercolors a try - I have no artistic experience except for some drawing classes I took in college many many LOL years ago. I appreciate your style of teaching and painting. Thanks!

Very helpful. Thank you!

I wach this video every time I need go to basics, it is so helpful

Thanks so much for the upload, I always practice artwork while watching your tutorials :)

Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Watching your several videos have boosted my confidence in watercolours and somehow your mantra of 'practice, practice' has latched on. Your methods are so simple to follow and the outcome is amazing. Can't wait to dive into another of your tutorial video.

Thank you for doing these tutorials. I'm working hard to master these. As a beginner they are all hard. All about the practice though gotta start somewhere.

My favorite leaf is the sage and eucalyptus! Thanks for all the videos and the fun humor.

I like every one of the them ! Thanks very much !

Liebe Jenna, es hat mir noch nie soviel Spaß gemacht zu malen! Mit dir ist es so entspannend❤. Ich übe bei dir Schritt für Schritt! Ich habe dich abonniert! Liebe Grüße von Gisela aus Germany 😊

Thank you for giving me ideas on different types of leaves. I was getting sick of my same ones. I LOVE your tutorials. Thank you so much for giving such a variety of topics.

Great video, very helpful lesson!

Thank you so much, Jenna. The most challenging for me was the long, curvy trio. But I enjoyed each and everyone of them.

loved this!

Your the best. You take your time to show us what to do with each. I've watch so many others that just rush so fast I can't catch it. Of course I have no talent as a beginner but you make it look like maybe I can learn as an old lady wanting to enjoy art.

I am really enjoying your videos. I have found that they are the best so far in teaching techniques and explaining background.

All of my leaves looked the same. This is just what I needed. My favourite is the long grassy type. I never knew how to make that twisted look. Thank you, again, for these tutorials.

Except one, I drew every other leaf with you. Thanks for being such a fantastic teacher.

I struggle so hard with leaves. This was very helpful and beginner friendly 🌻 I realllly struggled with the autumn leave! 🍁🍂

I love all of your tutorials and quite often go back to the old ones. You are a very good teacher, easy to follow. I find loose painting challenging in general (I call it my heavy hand so the cilantro does not look anything even close to yours or the real thing. But also teardrops or round leaves are difficult, I think it may be down to the incorrect amount of water I am using. Thank you for allowing me to learn

My favorite leaf was the garden leaf. Had a very hard time with the jagged red leaf. Had a fun time with these. Thanks.

I am so glad I found this channel. I have not picked up my watercolor brushes since my husband died in 2020. This makes me want to go back to painting. Thank you so much! You inspire us all!

Great video Jenna will try these out tomorrow

Loved the leaves and trying to paint them. My favorite leaf was the rose leaf and the tulip leaf. I struggled with cilantro and the tiny leaves tree branch

You’re a terrific instructor, teacher and inspiration. I’m so pleased with how you’ve influenced my painting. Your demonstrations are clear, enthusiastic and attainable. Thank you for coming into my life.

Instant « thumbs up » because...well, we love your beautiful spirit, and because, once again, you’re making watercolour accessible ...and FUN 🤩 I’m getting better thanks 🙏 to you and your book!) Regards to John and your baby! Love ❤️ y’all!

You make it look so easy

I really liked this and appreciate this video. Wasn't sure how to get started on the leaves. Newbie at painting

I watch your channel for almost a year, and couldn't take the practice, because I was so frustrated about my strokes. Today I received set of Princeton Heritage brushes and I find it all so easy now! My Black Velvet ones are useless with florals this kind. Princeton 4050 rulez! Jenna, thank you so much for your efforts and passion you share

Yea! I love your leaves.

That was really helpful.

Loved it- I love cilantro, would love to paint a herb bouquet ❤️

How did I wander away? I need you in my life! ❤️❤️❤️

I loved the jagged edge leaf. I had trouble with the little cutie baby leaves. I don't think I had enough paint on my brush....couldn't get them to look like a leaf shape as in your example. Thank you for the description as you paint. So helpful. Like that I can pause to watch the stroke of the brush. :)

Super !! 🌺🙏

I love the cilantro leaves... a bit of a different look!

I really learned alot in here thanks:)))

Love your leaves! Once again difficult to choose a favorite. I haven't tried painting these yet so I don't know which one is most difficult. Cilantro: I used to hate cilantro. If a dish had a cilantro leaf in it, the whole thing was tainted. I don't know what happened, but now I love fresh cilantro! You painted a really cute bunch of cilantro! I also really love your eucalyptus leaves. Precious! Thanks, Jenna, we now have lots to keep us busy, busy, busy! 💜🙏🏻

Thanks Jenna, I've already started practicing. Very difficult but I won't give up. Greetings LalitaVarma ®

Thank. You. Jenna

Jenna, for the first time I was able to paint along with you during the video. I had to pause you here and there to gather things because I was painting sitting on my bead. Not everything turned out well, but that shows I need more work with those, the last time I tried anything like it I couldn't do it at all. So I am making strides. Thank you always for your constant encouragement. :)

Great tutorial! My favorite is the cilantro leaf ^^, the challlenging one, the red jagger leaf, my waves were like spikes, I think my paint was too dried, I will keep practicing that one :) Thanks Jenna!

the rose leaves were my favorite.... also cilantro yum

New subscriber and loving your channel!

Amazing

Thanks Friend!

I was painting all afternoon. Your wavy, grassy leaves look the most challenging. I like cilantro as an ingredient but it is a bit soapy on its own. My windows are bursting with fresh green plants. My next painting will be the Easter items. Thanks for spending time with us today!!

omgg thenks sm for this! i'm a twelve year old who recently got interested in water colour painting and your videos are always relaxing and teach me alottt..till now all ik abt watercolours is bcz of you jennaaa ilysmm!

I’m working on being looser and not so tight and symmetrical . Love these.

I like to see more leaves and then focus on composite leaves like figue. Maple etc. That would really be awesome! But love this video too!

Hi Jenn The trickiest one for me was the eucalyptus, mine look like lollipops :) I know with more practice they will look better. This tutorial is just what I needed! Thank you

I am just starting to watercolor & everything looks like a first grader did it. I am just enjoying watching all aspects
