In this short instructional video, Christie Renee Hawkins demonstrates a simple wet‑on‑wet watercolor technique for painting leaves and petals. She first sketches leaf shapes, then uses a brush loaded only with water to saturate the interior of each leaf. Hawkins stresses the importance of using genuine watercolor paper rather than mixed‑media pads, noting the distinct visual result. While the paper is still wet, she introduces a green pigment, tapping it into the wet areas so the color adheres only where the water remains, creating a natural, controlled wash that mimics the look of foliage.
