Recently I painted a pile of leaves in watercolor. It was an easy relaxing process:

• Collect a few leaves
• Trace the leaves
• Mix fall colors from yellow, red and blue
• Work wet and encourage the colors to bleed and blend.

Believe it or not, I’m often more interested in how it feels to sit and paint than what the final results are. Sure, there is satisfaction in how a painting comes out and sometimes frustration when I can’t achieve my vision. But the process of sitting and painting is…the best.

I shared a video on how I created the watercolor pile of leaves painting. Grab your paints and give it a try!
