Halloween Watercolour Challenge: Your Kit & How It Works | Practical Plants for Natural Magic

Halloween Watercolour Challenge: Your Kit, Materials & How It Works | Practical Plants for Natural Magic Welcome to your Practical Plants for Natural Magic preparation video! 🌙✨ Tomorrow, we open our spell books and begin 13 Nights of Halloween, a Practical Magic-inspired watercolour painting challenge running from 19th–31st October. If you've bought one of my hand-painted grids or the full painting kit, this is the perfect place to get everything ready before our first tutorial. 🎨 IN THIS VIDEO I'll walk you through the painting kit and the materials we'll be using throughout the challenge, including the paints and brushes you'll see me using in the daily tutorials. We'll also talk about how the challenge works and what to expect over the next 13 days, so you can settle in and enjoy the painting. 🌿 HOW THE CHALLENGE WORKS Every day from 19th–31st October, we'll paint a different plant and add it to our apothecary-style spell book. Our plants have fascinating connections to witchcraft, folklore, mythology, traditional medicine and magic — with a few beautiful but deadly specimens thrown in! 🕯️ WHEN TO WATCH A new tutorial will be released every day at 5:30pm GMT on my YouTube channel, de Winton Paper co. I'll also be adding every episode to a special Halloween painting challenge playlist, so you can easily find all 13 tutorials in one place. And the best bit? The videos won't ever be deleted! If you miss a day, get behind or simply fancy revisiting a painting later, you can watch the tutorials whenever you like. There's absolutely no pressure to keep up, paint along at your own pace. ✨ NOT BOUGHT A KIT? You can still join us! You can use your own watercolour supplies with a hand-painted grid, or choose the digital template, which includes line drawing guides for every plant. 🔮 LET'S OPEN THE SPELL BOOK Get your paints ready, find a cosy spot and join me tomorrow for Night One. I can't wait to see our spell books come to life! Happy painting, Harriet x #Watercolour #HalloweenPainting #WatercolourChallenge #PracticalMagic #BotanicalPainting #WatercolourTutorial
