How to Watercolor Leaves

The watercolor leaves in this piece is where I really had a chance to play and explore-and they are definitely my favorite part of the entire illustration! I love the color play and the way that I can show off watercolor techniques in their simple shapes. I can't wait to show you how to mimic this watercolor style.
