Do you already know the ropes of watercolor painting, and want to hone one specific skill in your toolbox?


Do abstract, loose, beautiful botanicals excite you as much as they do me?


Willa's Watercolor Leaves and Florals might be the course for you!


Let me show you the basic brush marks and shapes that you can easily master to create gorgeous watercolor flowers and leaves.


Once you have that down, we'll use what you are now comfortable with to move on to painting full sheets with implied floral patterning. The result is stunning art journal spreads, sheets of original art for use in your handmade book and other mixed media projects, or a whole world of other things that you can do with your new skills and confidence.


This MINI Course assumes you have some knowledge about watercolor materials and is not a complete course covering the entire subject of watercolor painting.

Here is what you will find in the Willa's Watercolor Leaves and Florals MINI course:


-the painting drills that you must practice to make painting in this style easy peasy

-My signature version of the Mother Method of color mixing and how I employ it in my special way to achieve flawless color combinations

-the basic leaf and floral shapes to get you rolling without being overwhelmed

-the basics of creating faux repeat patterning

-ideas for many fun projects now that you have the skills to paint loose watercolor leaves and florals

This course is perfect for the artist that has worked with watercolor paint and brushes, at least a little bit.


I won't be going over all of the many watercolor painting techniques out there and there isn't a complete review of all watercolor supplies.

What you will get is a detailed explanation for how I paint loose watercolor leaves and florals and create stunning patterns.
