Paint a page of leaves with me to perfect your brush technique! Today we’re using just one round brush, with a good point, to paint ten different styles of leaf. We’ll be using lots of different brush movements like turning, twisting and printing as well as the more common long and short strokes.

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
