How to Paint Intuitive Autumn Leaves in Watercolor FULL DEMONSTRATION with Angela Fehr
Ever since I was a beginner to watercolor painting, I've loved the act of pulling beautiful shapes out of a wet-in-wet wash of color. There is something so peaceful about studying the shapes on the paper and defining them to suggest leaves, flowers, the contours of the natural world. In order to do this well, you need to understand the concept of NEGATIVE PAINTING, defining the shape AROUND a shape to make the lighter shape stand out.
It's easy to get lost in negative painting, or to be intimidated by this technique, but you don't have to avoid negative painting! The first step is simply to find ONE shape and define part of it. And negative painting never lives alone; it's a technique that works well with the traditional positive painting process, they really go hand in hand.
In this demonstration, I'm going to walk you through the FULL process of painting a wet in wet background in watercolor, using my favorite paints from Daniel Smith Watercolor, and then we'll move to defining the shapes and creating vibrant autumn leaves. I'll share secrets for keeping your colors vibrant, avoiding overworking and review a new paper I'm trying from Hahnemühle.
Notice as well that this is NOT the first time I've painted this subject! When I compare the first and second versions of this scene, the second version feels fresher and stronger to me. This is not surprising - giving myself a second opportunity to paint this subject allows me the chance to correct any weak areas in the first painting and have a more strongly defined goal for the painting.
