Watercolour practice with gum leaves


These are my latest efforts with watercolour, as part of my last botanical illustration class with Sandra Morris. Gum leaves are really fun to paint and they come in such a variety of different shapes, sizes and colours, it's impossible to get bored painting them! I can see a definite improvement in my ability with watercolours (from left to right). The green leaf on the right I am proud of - something that I rarely admit since I'm always so self-critical of my work. I still have a long way to go but my confidence using watercolors is starting to increase.
