Sneak Peek 🌺🦋 July Watercolor Tutorial (Patreon)

This month’s Patreon tutorial is a vibrant Butterfly in Paradise, inspired by the incredible plants and creatures I encountered on my recent trip to Costa Rica! 🌺🦋 The composition features the striking red lobster claw plant, a beautiful violet tropical flower, and a delicate butterfly resting among lush, intricate leaves — a true celebration of tropical silhouettes.

🎨 In this tutorial, we’ll focus on:• Layering reds to achieve that extra vibrancy in the lobster claw.• Using lifting techniques to create soft, natural highlights on the leaves and butterfly wings.

If you’d like a head start, the first version of this plant (with a brief tutorial) is already available on my YouTube channel, and I posted an ad-free version here:👉 YouTube Ad-Free Video: Lobster Claw Watercolor Tutorial

🌞 The full tutorial with voiceover and printable outlines will be available for you here on Patreon next week — on Tuesday, July 15. I can’t wait to paint this tropical scene with you!

☀️🌿 See you in the studio soon!
