Quilt Squares In Watercolor - Autumn Leaf

Learning to See and Paint Values

Autumn and quilts just seem to go hand in hand and when you combine the jewel-tone colors of the season, it's even better!

Learn to create a quilted Autumn Leaf square in watercolor based on an analogous palette. This class is designed to help you see value, understand how the addition of texture changes the value and how to make unique and fun variations on just one template.

Do you struggle to get a full range of values (lights, darks and mid-tones) in your paintings?

This class is a great way to learn about using values to get really dark darks, learn to get a full range of values and to recognize the different values in your work. I won’t say it’s stress-free (that’s up to you), but I can say it is a great way to learn about values and have fun!

Much of the texture of the quilt square was created using gel ink—come and learn how these pens can become a favorite tool for you!

This class was originally hosted on the Zoom platform with an opportunity for participants to ask questions in real time. The video class has been edited to provide you with the relevant parts of the class and you will get to hear some of the questions and comments asked by others in the videos.

Laure Ferlita

Laure Ferlita is an accomplished watercolorist residing in sunny Florida. Watercolors, nature, travel, painting on location, sketching for the joy of it, and most especially, color, are her passions!

Vibrant color can be found in almost any subject and its shadows. It is her joy to bring those colors to life on paper with some paint and a little water. For many years, Laure worked as a graphic designer, so you will most likely see a strong graphic element in her work.

She started sharing her joy and love of sketching on location over at ImaginaryTrips.com in 2009 and has helped many "travelers" to find their artistic voice since then.

“Watercolor, for me, is the perfect sketching medium." Laure says. “It provides ease of use, quick color saturation, and clean up is a snap and really, you don't need much equipment. After you move past the hype of how difficult watercolor can be, you find out how much fun it is to get out there and actually create on location. It's way too much fun!"
