Part two of painting a detailed floral arrangement

Hi everyone, here we go with the first stage of painting our floral arrangement! Today we are focussing on where to start with a painting like this and how to fill up the basic washes and get more detail than you expect!

If you're looking for the other parts of this challenge just check out the Watercolour Challenge Collection for challenge 38 & 40

You will need

Hi just checking if there are 2 or 3 videos for this painting? In can only see 2 but the 2nd video mentions it being part 3? Many thanks

Hi Harriet Can I ask about paper please. Would you use the same watercolour paper if creating a greetings card. The 300 gsm seems a bit thick and tricky to fold. Any advice gratefully received. Thank you. Am really enjoying your videos, the mindfulness one was very therapeutic 😊

Hi Dian, I always use 300gsm as any thinner won't hold the water well and is more likely to warp. I recommend scoring the paper before folding and that will result in a clean fold for a greetings card

Dian

Thank you, I’ll give that a go.

Dian I'm going to do a greetings card project on youtube today to go out tomorrow so make sure you check that out

Dian

Oh lovely, will do.
