Painting Guide: Succulents

Here's a timelapse video of how I paint each succulent leaf:

Start by painting leaves using water.

Then add the green pigments, making sure to have highlights, midtones, and shadows on each leaf.

Right before the paint dries up, add some red pigment to darken the green hue.

Repeat this process with each leaf, making sure that you don't touch any wet areas (skip leaves). Let each leaf's gradient dry before painting next to it.

Once the first layer for all leaves is done, add a light mixture on top to deepen the shadows and strokes.
