New Tutorial: Watercolor Refreshing Blackberry Lemonade! (Patreon)

🍹 Hey everyone!

Grab your favorite brush and a cold drink, because today we are painting some pure summertime vibes. In this week’s tutorial, we are tackling a Watercolor Refreshing Blackberry Lemonade. I have the sketch below for you to print out and trace if you like.

This project is all about embracing a loose, expressive style. We'll be combining soft watercolor bleeds with delicate line work to bring this summery drink to life. It’s the perfect practice for playing with vibrant color contrasts—like those rich, deep purples popping against the bright yellows and cool greens!

🎨 What You’ll Learn in This Video:

Loose Glass Textures: How to paint a translucent glass using soft washes of turquoise, yellow, and green, keeping the look light and refreshing.

The "Juicy" Blackberry Bleed: A step-by-step breakdown of painting plump, textured blackberries both inside the glass and resting on the rim, letting those rich violets softly bleed into the background.

Delicate Floral Elements: How to balance the bold, vibrant colors of the drink with soft, whimsical white and yellow wildflowers tucked into the garnish.

Playful Line Work: Using fine lines to give the glass, lemon wheel, and florals structure while keeping the overall painting loose and sketchy.
