Echinacea Quick Watercolor Sketch (Patreon)

A new extra tutorial has just been added to the library!

Let’s paint a soft and delicate echinacea in this quick step-by-step watercolor lesson!

This is a simple and relaxing project that’s perfect for beginners or for those days when you only have a little time to paint. We’ll build the flower from basic shapes and loose brushstrokes, then add a few fineliner details to bring the sketch to life.

In this lesson, you’ll practice:• Painting loose, flowing flower petals• Adding simple watercolor shadows for depth• Creating leaves with expressive brushstrokes• Adding texture to the flower center• Finishing your sketch with light, loose fineliner details

Grab your watercolor supplies and enjoy a few peaceful minutes of painting with me. Happy painting! 🌸🎨
