No-Fail Watercolor: Effortless Fall Wreath (with a FUN Simple Trick for Beginners)

I'm getting the Brusho out again today, to show you possibly the easiest way I've ever discovered of painting loose fall leaves. This trick will have you creating fall wreaths, bouquets and more in no time, all in clean bright colors with zero chance of creating flat muddy mixes! Plus we'll pop in a cute little robin and some simple watercolor lettering to complete this fall wreath project, perfect for Thanksgiving and more.

Brilliant idea to keep Brusho manageable, yet maximize its vibrant colours! Thanks, Diane! Also, kudos to Tamsin on the playlists - I hadn’t checked for a while, but I think the organized categories will make your many videos easier to find.

Brusho is such an interesting product. I've never seen anything like it. Love that you add birds to your pictures. Thanks for the tips. Don't wear white, don't take the lid off! This will be a product I don't do with the granddaughters. Thanks for bringing the joy of painting into our lives.

Gorgeous. I love the Autumnal colors, and this video was so enjoyable to watch!

[jeanetteanderson]

Just fabulous I really would love to try the brusho looks like a lot of fun. Love the fall wreath and robin so beautiful ❤️

[brackenannie]

Wow! This video was amazing, and looks like so much fun! I enjoyed it very much, it’s beautiful.

[conniemesce]

Very interesting the brusho! Loved watching you paint this!❤

[janiceheger]

This is brilliant! The wavy watery strokes are filled with color effortlessly! Each embellishment and additional color and shape really is gorgeously effective!

Maybe you are more relaxed or, sitting to
Paint just reboots your “teacherly” voice or your “talking to friends” voice!
….Standing up always makes me feels like I have to get things accomplished quickly, ( a bit rushed)….because certainly, if I had time, to enjoy the activity…I would sit?
….But I actually have no idea, but I did take time to “ponder” it.. and of course “pondering” is a sit down type of thinking and wondering? 😂❤
Love this wreath, I have Brusho and I love using it!💃💃👍
Edited for a spelling mistake😮

That is beautiful!! I'm tempted to try. Earlier last year I bought a small tin of 'pigment salt sprinkles' from Ruby Mountain Paper Co. in the color Deep Waters....shades of greens and blues. I've played with it a little. I was really careful in sprinkling it and didn't have any kind of disaster (I'm sure that will be for another time, it's bound to come at some point LOL) However that evening I did notice minute dots of the sprinkles here and there on the kitchen sink, stove and on the counter of the back master bedroom. So light weight the air alone just picked some and moved it thru the house!! Being a tiny tin I don't know if it would work out to hammer a whole in the top for a little pin and I'm not good with hammers and nails anyway, actually never used. I'm going to check out the product you used and maybe pick up a couple of colors and some push pins. Thanks for sharing this awesome piece. The painting looks so pro like cards I've seen but then you are a pro so duh!😄Thanks much for sharing this one.

You never fail to impress me! Your color choices are always so spot on. I laughed out lol Hope you’re enjoying your time in Cairo you lucky duck.❤️

This is sooo pretty, Diane! The Brusho isn't something I can afford to buy right now. Nonetheless, I will try painting a little wreath. I just got a small tube of Quin Gold last week!! I alreafy have Quin Magenta and Perelien Green. I would have never thought to mix them to get some lovely Fall colors!! Many thanks for the info!!

[sharonkrochmal]

Great video! I can’t afford to buy more paint products but I’m going to give this a go with what I have.
I really enjoy your videos! You make watercolor painting fun! Thank you!❤

[jeaniemiller]

Hi Diane! I love this wreath! It has such beautiful colors and I love that you put a little Robin in it. This would make a beautiful Fall/Thanksgiving card! Thanks so much!❤

[peggymann]

This is so beautiful! Thank you for this idea!

[conniejenskindsfather]

Loved your entire step by step approach! Never heard of Brusho but think I can improvise maybe. Great colors. Do enjoyed each addition of line and color. Lush end result ❣️

[LindaKing-nqut]

Always like wreaths..this a lovely one in autumn colours….found Brusho somewhat frustrating when I tried it..should probably have persevered a little more with it

[azadehshalgooni]

Very Beautiful and So Dreamy Autumn,
Thanks.👍👍🤩🤩🧡🧡💜💜

[barbramacnair]

BEAUTIFUL! Thanks so much for the Brusho suggestion. I have been using it in several ways since you introduced it to me a few months ago. Can't wait to start on my Thanksgiving cards!

[Reeflections]

Beautiful Diane~ and that brusho is expensive ! Maybe one day I'll be able to get some! ❤️✝️🙏🏻

[jeannegeorge]

Very interesting technique ! Will have to try that today. Thanks for a way to use the brusho sitting in my craft closet.
