🏠Lavender Cottage Watercolor Sketch Tutorial (Patreon)

Today’s new lesson is a charming Lavender Cottage surrounded by blooming flowers and summer color🏡💜🌸

In this lesson, we’ll create a cozy cottage with a beautiful purple roof, bright hydrangeas and soft watercolor details that bring the whole scene to life. This project is a wonderful opportunity to practice painting simple architectural elements, windows, flower beds and expressive watercolor textures while creating a sketch full of warmth and character.

We’ll work step by step, focusing on how to combine loose floral shapes with more structured building details, creating a balanced and vibrant composition. You'll also practice layering colors, adding contrast and using a liner to bring out small decorative elements.

This lesson is suitable for both beginners and more experienced sketchers who would like to add another charming cottage scene to their sketchbook collection.

The lesson includes:

• Step-by-step video lesson• Reference photo• Tracing template• Materials list• Final artwork example

Prepare your watercolor supplies and let’s paint this lovely Lavender Cottage together! ✨
