Watercolour Challenge 99 (Patreon)

Hi everyone, we're painting in all the little flowers in our flower shop today. This is a useful technique to see how we shrink down detail and colour to create distance.  Next week we will be finishing off the piece! I chose to paint in the flowers at this stage as I want their vibrant colours not to have to fight with any colours underneath. We will be working around them next week.

Welcome to all our new Patrons, I hope you're finding your way around my Patreon ok. Don't forget, you can always send me a message if you have any specific questions. Discord is by far the best place for comments and tips on any paintings you've done as a result of the watercolour challenges as you can post your pictures and see how each other are getting on.

If you are new to painting then I highly recommend going back to the first watercolour challenges and working through the first through to get your basic techniques going. Then you can pick and choose whatever you like.

This is a private youtube link which only you sweet pea and cherry blossom patrons have access to.
