ugh you're the best. ive been looking for beginner videos all week and you are the oNLY ONE that actually takes the time to talk through every little detail you know will be beneficial and actually take your time. yours are the only videos I have been able to follow!!!
Hi Jenna! Thanks so for your vids! I'm a toddler mum and just took up watercolour painting to get some of my sanity back. Your tutorials are super helpful. Sending love from Pretoria, South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤ 😁
Thanks for sharing, my South African friend! Toddlers are so tough (we have one), but all worth it! Hope this watercolor helps you continue to find sanity in the chaos of kiddos. ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, what a fantastic teacher you are, Jenna! ❤️ After a few weeks of doing exercises to get to know my tools and watching untold youtube videos - finally after watching & painting along to your herb series I understand so much more 😃 So glad I found you! During a coffee break I picked some sage and parsley in my garden and the beautiful smell of them has made me so ravenous! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent & skills so generously💞💞
Aw!! Thanks for this sweet message. I am so glad that my videos speak to you on your level. I love hearing that my teaching style is working for people and that you're learning and growing. That makes me very happy. Happy painting! ❤️
thank you so much for passing on your knowledge. you are very didactic, friendly and fun, I'm starting with watercolor, I've never done anything artistic before, but watching your videos I've managed to make some leaves I'm enjoying the results and having so much fun. Kisses from Brasil
Huge fan of the leaf series, re-watching.... Thank you for the knowledge! Now, for me...practice-practice-practice. I'm kinda obsessed with watercolor strawberries 🍓atm. I have huge respect for the artist that use watercolor to document flora, for me, I love the loose look as I sketch in my journal. When an unexpected color jumps in...that watercolor-magic💥excitement. 🙇 You are appreciated!
I've watched all 4 videos in this series. Tomorrow I will practice painting leaves while it snows outside. You pack a lot of information into each video, Jenna. Thank you so much for your hard work (and your's John). I'm also very happy it is in HD!
These are a great practice experience. When I started doing leaves I thought I knew what I was doing, but I didn’t and it showed every time I put one down near a good flower and wrecked it...now I’m getting it. Thanks
Yes!!! Oh my gosh was busy binge watching the leaf tutorials when I get a notification that part 4 is available!! You’re making me hungry!! I’m busy painting herb pots so this video is perfect!! Thank you for posting Jenna!!
LOVED this series. Just watched all four parts, took notes, and will practice my leaves over and over like you said. I follow you on IG and have loved your tutorials. Now i'm new (and subscribed) to your TH-cam page. Thank you for keeping it real along with all the tips of the trade.
I love that I can paint along with you. That helps me more than anything. I would love floral tutorials although you may have already done that and I just haven’t come across them yet.
I love that you love painting along with me too! :) Here's a link to my playlist of the floral tutorials I've done so far (and there's a NEW floral tutorial coming VERY soon)! th-cam.com/play/PLdb2U9SHuFlIEmkCmoobY3i0qZ4M8IN66.html
I just found your channel and have been binge watching your videos lol! I'm a watercolour portrait artist, but I absolutely LOVE the look of loose florals. The loose watercolour style is really out of my comfort zone so I've been struggling, but your videos have helped me tremendously!! Thank you sooo much! :D
Simple but informative and effective video. I liked parsley leaves the most from the video. Leaf or floral work on this channel has been my favorite always. The best part for me was the use of loose painting technique and different shades of leaves. I would love to see a tutorial on maple leaves. I really like the subjects chosen in video and also the sequence of execution. Also can we have a floral series after the leaf series? Keep up the good work Jenna and John :D
Thanks so much Ace, so glad you liked the video!! Maple is a great call, I think that may make an appearance in the next one. And a nice floral series, that's a fantastic idea! Take care!
Hi Jenna. I was so excited about leaves part 4 that I painted along with leaves parts 2 & 3 yesterday, and leaves part 4 today. Thank you! An easy herb is tarragon.
I have just started refreshing watercolours skills. I enjoyed and liked your tutorials. Will surely start as soon as i get a hold of everything that is needed to start with. Thank you.
Thanks for your videos! I’ve painted for awhile but I need these basics badly! AND THANK YOU FOR NOT HAVING A SPOTLESS PALETTE! You removed soo much guilt 👍🏼. I must be type B also. I cannot stand to clean up everything after I paint. And my prettiest colors comes from colors all left over that I have no idea which ones they are.
You are a REALLY good teacher. I like how you take the time to very slowly show us how to achieve the desired result with color, water amount, and angles and pressure of brushes. The is wonderful! Thank you so much. Can you teach us how to do a water lily with green lily pad? (I know it's not an herb, but it has interesting petals and a completely unique leaf) :)
Fall leaves would be a nice choice, I seem to have problems with the colors. p.s. I have put "you" on my workbench so that I can paint right along with you.
I really enjoy watching you! I am always enthralled looking at what’s behind you, your blocks...etc. please straighten the plant in the cool macrame plant holder. I keep wanting to fix it! Lol. 🤔🤣
Hey Jenna, very nice videos. I bought and read your book. I wish I had known about these videos before, they would have help me even more! I'd suggest adding some disclaimer about this channel in your next editions.
I have a sample pack of papers and new size 14 brush (I've told myself that's my LAST brush for a while... Ha, we'll see how long I can stick to that! 😁). The weather forecast here is rubbish for tomorrow so I think I'll have a go at this. 😊
Jenna, do you ever do anything with acrylics.? I watched your first 3 sessions on watercolor leave and applied the same technique to acrylic painting on rocks. Thoroughly enjoyed your presentations. Gerry Judge
Hi Jenna ! First of all, I LOVE YOUR WORK ! Second of all, would you happen to know how I can purshase your Princeton brushes in France because Amazon doesn't deliver them here. Thanks a lot, and please continue what you are doing because it's amazing !
Hi Astrid! Thank you so much for the love and support!! Getting brushes in France... Hmmm... I don't know what big art supply stores are in France, but Princeton is a pretty big brand, you should be able to find them in a major art supply store. If not there and not Amazon, I'm not exactly sure...
I love how you paint your leaves and herbs! Jenna, could you suggest a cheap paper brand I can practice with so that I still get I nice blend of the watercolor? I am using Canson meixed media paper 98 lbs, and it looks like I am not getting a good blend, the paper is warping
Love your leaf videos! Am total beginner, so they were very helpful! Now it’s all about practicing them! One question... if I want to make tiny leaves, do I use a smaller brush? Thanks so much for your wonderful teaching!
SO. I have the Stonehenge aqua paper but it is too pricey for me to practice on so I have been using some cold pressed from winsor-newton. however I am having the same issue with both which is - even if I LOAD up my brush with pigment and water when I put brush to paper it just doesnt lay down! I have to go over it a few times... it almost is like it has a waved surface. I dont have this issue with cartridge paper... although I know that is stinky to use. Is it the texture? Nothing looks smooth and it all looks ragged :( Please help, from London
Question of the day: what leaves or herbs should I do next?! Let me know! Thanks for watching and happy painting!!
Dill🤗
Ya! Dill is a great idea!

You’re welcome! I just filmed another really fun leaf tutorial coming out next week!!
That was an excellent tutorial series. Bravo!
So glad you liked it!! Thanks for watching!
I’ve learned more from your tutorials than I have in 4 yrs of watching them. Glad I discovered you!
I’m so glad to hear that Sarah, thanks for sharing!

This was a fun one to film, I’m a fan of the leaf series!! Glad to see other people like them as well! 🤗🤗🤗
It was fun, wasn't it? :)
I love the leaf series. Jenna does it well. 😍🌿
You are the MASTER of leaves. ❤️ I know you’ve done four parts, but please keep them coming. Maybe some variegated like in hostas and pinnate leaves.
More coming!! Thanks for the suggestion! I’m glad you like the leaf series!
i loved painting sage. came out so pretty :D
Awesome!

LOVE the excitement, Cindy! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy painting those leaves and herbs! :)
Another fun video! Maybe oak, maple, or willow????
All great options, thank you president.
Really good. I just picked a sprig of parsley from my garden and it looks exactly like yours
Fun! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never heard anyone pronounce ‘herbs’ that way AND I LOVE IT 😎💛🌿
Hahah, thanks!
So helpful. I’m working thru your book.
Oh, awesome! Thanks so much for sharing and thank you for your support! Take care!
I have just started refreshing watercolours skills. I enjoyed and liked your tutorials. Will surely start as soon as i get a hold of everything that is needed to start with. Thank you.

I have SO many layers of paint in my palette, it's insane. LOL. You're on my team, Beverly, for sure.

Thank you for your super kind compliment! Lily pad - that’s a great idea! I’ll jot that down and try and get to one soon!
Thanks. Fun!
Of course, thanks for watching!
Thank you! Getting out my brush ~ 💁🏼♀️🎨
You're welcome, Sharon, happy painting!!
Fall leaves would be a nice choice, I seem to have problems with the colors. p.s. I have put "you" on my workbench so that I can paint right along with you.
I DO have a fall leaves tutorial, actually, you can find it in my leaves playlist! ❤️❤️
I really enjoy watching you! I am always enthralled looking at what’s behind you, your blocks...etc. please straighten the plant in the cool macrame plant holder. I keep wanting to fix it! Lol. 🤔🤣
Haha, I hadn't even noticed! I'll be sure to check that plant!
I’m really not an fussy ocd old lady, well, yeah, maybe I am. 😉🤣
You are freaking incredible
Excellent tutorials! Do you have one on various trees?
I don't... yet. We'll get some tree tutorials soon! :)
Hey Jenna, very nice videos. I bought and read your book. I wish I had known about these videos before, they would have help me even more! I'd suggest adding some disclaimer about this channel in your next editions.
Thank you so much for your support!! I really appreciate it!
Another awesome tutorial. I'm on to practicing these today~ How about red spring leaves of various budding trees.
Thanks Cindy! Happy painting!! Red spring leaves, love that idea!
Could the next be maple leaf?? 😊
I think the maple leaf will make an appearance soon. :)
Great idea!! Canada days coming;)
I have a sample pack of papers and new size 14 brush (I've told myself that's my LAST brush for a while... Ha, we'll see how long I can stick to that! 😁). The weather forecast here is rubbish for tomorrow so I think I'll have a go at this. 😊
Ya, Gaina! Bust out that new brush and paper and enjoy your day tomorrow painting some watercolor leaves! Have fun!!
I like.. I love your personality. You are just so much fun. Hum what leaf or herb.. How about bamboo stem and leaves?
Aw Billie, you're the best! Bamboo stem and leaves! Interesting and fun suggestion! Love it!

Love your leaf videos! Am total beginner, so they were very helpful! Now it’s all about practicing them! One question... if I want to make tiny leaves, do I use a smaller brush? Thanks so much for your wonderful teaching!
Thanks for the feedback, Mette! If I am painting much smaller leaves, yes, I would go down to a size 2 brush.
😍
❤️❤️
Can you do an oak leaf?
Great suggestion! I'll try and get that in a part 5!
I love all of them except the parsley and tulips.
SO. I have the Stonehenge aqua paper but it is too pricey for me to practice on so I have been using some cold pressed from winsor-newton. however I am having the same issue with both which is - even if I LOAD up my brush with pigment and water when I put brush to paper it just doesnt lay down! I have to go over it a few times... it almost is like it has a waved surface. I dont have this issue with cartridge paper... although I know that is stinky to use. Is it the texture? Nothing looks smooth and it all looks ragged :( Please help, from London
Ps. Ur dope! 🌿
AW, U R!!
