Learn to paint textured watercolor leaves from this easy to follow video by Zakkiya Hamza of Inkstruck Studio

There are two techniques that I’ll be focusing on my textured watercolor leaves tutorial. One is the technique of wet on wet or blending and the other is layering or glazing. First you do blending and then allow it to dry and then go over it with layering. 

Wet on wet– The process of working with watercolor while the paper is wet or damp. Here is a detailed blog post on blending.

Layering or glazing– Allowing one layer to dry completely before painting over it. Here is a detailed blog post on layering.

I hope you enjoyed this video on how to paint these textured watercolor leaves. Let me know what other videos you’d like to see and I would love to create them for you. They’re super easy an anyone can attempt to create this. I hope you try this tutorial and don’t forget to tag me on Instagram using #makeinkstruck.
