Leaf painting: Get creative with leaves

If you like working with colors and shapes, then you've come to the right place! We will transfer nature's patterns onto paper. Together we'll create colourful works of art by printing and designing with the help of leaves. Discover the many different colors and shapes of leaves and use them in your artwork. Let your imagination run wild!

Another option is to press your leaf piece by piece onto an ink pad. You can also simply apply ink with a dry brush.

Once your leaf is coloured, you should not wait too long before printing.

Place your leaf where you want the impression to be. Use the triangle and press your leaf firmly against the paper. Press for several seconds. If the leaf is larger than the triangle, carefully move the triangle and press again. As an alternative to the triangle, you can also use other objects that can be colored and won't break.

Next, you can carefully pull off the leaf, but take care not to smear anything. If something is smudged however, that is no problem, it can also look very cool and deliberately done.

But there are still many ways to design your print differently. Before you peel off the leaf you can, for example, carefully paint the edges with watercolour, so your leaf print later has a beautiful border.

Even after you have removed the paper, you can still trace the edge with a pen. You give the whole thing a nice outline.

After one print has dried, you can also apply a second print overlapping.

There are no limits to your imagination!
