[1] 00:05Hi it's Anna Mason, and in this watercolour tip video I thought we'd take a look at

[2] 00:09how to paint the milky, bloom like visual texture that we can

[3] 00:12see in the leaves of this succulent plant. To begin with I create a drawing outlining

[4] 00:18the edges of the leaves and I mark in a few of the darker patches I can see on them.

[5] 00:24Then I paint in a lighter version of the red tips to the leaves so I didn't paint green

[6] 00:29over them which would make them too brown before moving on to paint the parts of the

[7] 00:33leaves that have a more yellow green colour to them.

[8] 00:37Next I mix up some extremely dilute turquoise and green to try to match to the very lightest

[9] 00:43colours I can see within the blue-green parts of the leaves and I apply this mix all over

[10] 00:48the rest of the leaves as a wash. Next I use a much thicker blue green mix to

[11] 00:53apply the darkest tone areas of the leaves, using a smaller brush and creating textured

[12] 00:58edges to these darker shapes where I need to. I then add more water to create a milky

[13] 01:04consistency blue-green mix and continue to apply using a stippling, textured brush technique

[14] 01:10to the next darkest areas of the leaves, before I water down a touch more to add in all the

[15] 01:16darker areas. Next I go back to my initial really pale turquoise

[16] 01:21colour and apply across all the areas of the leaves that need to be darker - leaving only

[17] 01:26the very lightest parts with just the initial wash on them. Because the layers underneath

[18] 01:31are totally dry this layer can be painted gently on top of them without losing their

[19] 01:36definition. This starts to bring the succulent together tonally. And once this layer has

[20] 01:42dried I can work on the midtones some more, adding a layer of a slightly thicker mix to

[21] 01:47the areas that need further darkening. I've made this mix a little more blue to match

[22] 01:51to the colours I can see in the succulent. I apply in a stippled way with the brush to

[23] 01:56create more texture and make sure I leave gaps through to the lighter colours underneath.

[24] 02:02Now I've darkened the midtones I can see I need to return to my darkest tones and darken

[25] 02:07them more to bring them back into balance. And with that done I go back to my darker

[26] 02:12midtone mixes and apply another layer of those so that they too seem in balance. Then once

[27] 02:19I'd darkened the red tips and yellow-green areas some more, I use a fine brush and the

[28] 02:24milky blue green mix again to add more detail in the form of lines and texture to really

[29] 02:30give the appearance of the mottled bloom effect to the leaves.

[30] 02:34And all without using any white paint. A full step by step tutorial of this succulent

[31] 02:39is available now in my online School. If you've enjoyed this tip video, please
