Vintage Romance by Leaca Young

Meet “Vintage Romance” by Leaca Young
A handmade watercolor collection created for Leaca’s brand new class: Vintage Romance: Embracing the love of vintage papers and botanicals.

This collection is basically what happens when old love letters, pressed flowers, dusty book pages, and a slightly unhinged obsession with paper textures decide to become paint.

It is soft, romantic, earthy, dramatic in the corners, and completely perfect for vintage journaling, botanicals, collage, and anything where you want it to look like you found it in a drawer that smells faintly of libraries and emotional history.

And yes. It’s one of those palettes where you suddenly feel like you are the main character, even if you are just sitting in sweatpants, drinking coffee, and hoarding paper scraps like a dragon.

The watercolors in the “Vintage Romance” Collection are:
No. 3 – Cadmium Dark Red
No. 13 – Pistachio Green
No. 19 – Medium Olive
No. 22 – Perinone
No. 23 – Indigo
No. 28 – Indian Yellow
No. 32 – Dark Burnt Umber
No. 37 – Italian Red
No. 82 – Soft Lilies
No. 102 – Girl Power
No. 112 – Courage
No. 138 – Sunkissed Sands
No. 145 – Denim Wash
No. 152UC – Marble / Tint
No. 173 – Drunk Burgundy Violet
No. 202 – Alaska by Leaca Young

These colors were picked to work with vintage papers in a way that actually makes sense. You get warmth, shadow, softness, faded romance, and those deep moody tones that make everything look like it has lived a life.

In Leaca’s new class, “Vintage Romance,” you’re invited into over 7 hours of content.
So yes. This is not a cute little “one afternoon and done” situation. This is the kind of class that gives you that delicious feeling of having something to return to again and again.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

You’ll create journals using vintage papers, and Leaca will guide you through techniques for assembling and binding so the journals become both functional and beautiful.

You’ll learn watercolor techniques made specifically for vintage pages, so the paint works with the texture and age of the paper instead of fighting it.

You’ll explore collage and mixed media, combining old ledgers, letters, ephemera, and modern elements so your pages become layered, personal, and full of story.

You’ll create envelopes and pockets to organize all your papers and painted elements, which is honestly a gift to anyone whose desk looks like a small paper hurricane.

And throughout the year, there will be three different challenges, designed to push you, inspire you, and expand your skills in a way that keeps the whole thing alive.

If you are into vintage papers, botanicals, and that deeply satisfying mix of chaos and beauty, this class is going to feel like home.
