Celebrate the vibrancy of a beautiful flower meadow in watercolours. Follow stepped demonstrations as we look at chiming colours and mask sunlit petals and tall grasses to reflect bright sunlight.
Then brush on blooms and build shadows in deep pigment before shaping detail and lifting paint for the finishing touches. A source photo is provided for learning purposes. All welcome.
