Starting watercolor is a great way to bring relaxation and joy into your life, but for me, believing I needed to have certain skills before I could start led me in the wrong direction for many years. Then I discovered that painting freely with beautiful bright colors was a better way to spark that joy. So watch this video to discover how to paint loose colorful leaves which are guaranteed to make you smile! There’s no skill needed. And who knows, if you’re like me, it might just save you decades of watercolor disappointment!
