Creating variety in distant foliage in watercolour
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 08. 2022
- This video shows my technique for distant foliage that is typical of the Australian landscape in particular. I will show you how I change the shapes and colours (colors) of the trees to suggest variation in a row of trees/foliage.
This tutorial is designed for anyone from absolute beginners to someone wanting to learn new techniques.
If you have feedback, comments or suggestions for new videos please pop them in the comments section below. I also love to see the work you are doing so please feel free to share.

My favourite supplies are Arches or Saunders Waterford rough 300GSM paper and most of my paints are Windsor & Newton artist quality.
My palette generally consists of - (all W&N unless specified) French Ultramarine, Cobalt Blue, Cerulean Blue, Cobalt Turquoise, Alizarin Crimson, Rose Madder Genuine, Cad Red Light, Schminke Cad Red Orange, Light Red, Brown Madder, Neutral Tint, Yellow Ochre, Naples Yellow, Cad Yellow Light, Indian Yellow, Diox Purple, Green Gold, Indigo, Pyrolene Green, Holbein Lavender, Art Spectrum Australian Grey, Art Spectrum White Gouache.
Depending on the subject matter I will add some other colours to my palette as needed. When I am working on flowers I add some pinks like Quin Magenta, and Purple Lake to the mix.
The brushes will soon be available on my website www.cherylbrucecreativ.com/shop as they are a bit tricky to source so I have decided to stock them myself. It is a weasel hair brush that can be widened out to a flattish tip which I find great for a range of mark making.

What a lovely little tutorial!
So many good tips here. Thankyou Cheryl.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for taking time to paint this tutorial! I found it very helpful. I’m still fairly new to watercolor, which intimidates me greatly. Your tutorials are really, really helpful in calming my anxiety concerning this media. Again, thank you! ☺️
I hope you start to find it less intimidating Brenda.
Really useful especially seeing how the end of the brush is manipulated to create different shapes. Thanks for uploading.
You're very welcome! I think learning to vary the brush stroke to create a range of different mark making is really important. Have fun!
Thanks for the lesson!!!
so helpful as always ....
Thanks! I have had trouble with variations of greens for a while. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! I think foliage and greens are one of the hardest things to paint, so it is definitely tricky to find those greens that you like and get variation with.
Very beautiful my dear friend and artist
Great tutorial full of useful, practical information. Thanks
Thank you so much, I'm glad you got something out of it.

great video. you make it so esy to understand. thanks
Beautiful as always! Thank you
Thank you! 😊
That's so beautiful. You make it look so easy. The nice man at "The Mind of Watercolor" said to "embrace your mistakes." I'm new at this and have been embracing a lot. I believe your posts will help me to learn and understand techniques faster. Thanks a lot Cheryl.
Thank you so much, you are very welcome. Embracing the mistakes is a great mantra otherwise we get too focused on what when wrong when in fact with watercolour sometimes the `mistake' is the best part of the end painting. Have fun
@@cherylbrucecreativ Thanks Cheryl. I have to say that as I went through my failed attempts, there wasn't one of them that I didn't learn something from. There were even some I was able to add things to that made them pretty good. I guess as some folks would say, nothing is ever wasted.
Thank you for a really useful tutorial 🇨🇦
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for this.. I've always wanted to learn how to paint foliage.. You made look so easy . Will try that as well . Thank you so much🌺❤️😊😊❤️

Thank you Cheryl, I really enjoy your style of teaching, please keep going, I’d love some help with flowers and anything quirky if you have time 🥰
Thank you, I will record some more videos soon..... I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying the videos.
Beautiful and helpful , what brushes are you using?
Chis these are a brush that used to be coded BW170 and became really difficult to buy in Australia. Tammy is stocking them now at ArtSpace and they are really affordable. I can't paint without them. Her email is artspacepopupgallery@gmail.com. She will know which brush you mean if you refer to me or watercolour.
Where to buy Chinese flat squirrel brush from?
Hopefully you saw my reply to your other comment. It is a round brush though not a flat, but when I load the brush I push the brush flat in order to get a wider tip rather than a point.
Good content. but the adverts are crazy bad…it makes it difficult to watch.
OOh thank you for letting me know - I don't know how to change that though as I don't have it monetised at my end. I will look and see if I can see if I can change it to no ads. Maybe You tube makes it a problem to encourage people to do the you tube pro account without ads?
