Spring flower garden (blending technique)

This spring brings opportunity to have some fun with colours and water. Try to paint flower garden and watch how the colours blend together.

Materials:

Paper

Watercolours

Brush

Water

Tutorial:

1, First open up your watercolours and drip few drops of water on the colours you will be using.

Now wash your brush well and then wet the whole page with water.

2, Now we will paint leaves and stems of plants. You want to use a wet brush and get some green paint on it and then start painting leaves all across the page. It’s up to you if you want your glowers to cover the whole page or just the bottom part. Try to use different shades of green and different thickness of your lines.

3, Now you will use your chosen colours for flowers. I have chosen purple and pink. Dip your brush in the water and then in the paint and tap on your page where you want your flowers to be. If the brush and page we wet enough then the dabs of paint should spread into the sides.
