Happy Monday Everyone! I recently tried some new arty thing which I never did before.

It was a very satisfying activity, I made a video tutorial of it. Today, you will see how to paint a design on a leaf with acrylic paints. It’s the first time ever I painted any leaf surface.

To paint this leaf, first, wash & dry the leaf softly. This is a palm leaf which is usually a thick plant with a soft surface.

You can also make some patterns before starting any paintwork on it. But I prefer freehand painting on it. I just did it without any theme or pattern.
You can see the detailed video on my YouTube channel. I have also shared details in this blog post so you can properly understand if something is missing.

I am using acrylic paints here, poster paints are water-based so do not use them. Acrylic is the best paint for most of the surfaces already. I would suggest you try it. Here these paints are some leftover paints from my self-portrait painting. Also, acrylic paints are easily available.
