Create Intuitive Watercolor Florals
Home improvement shows, whether you love them or hate them, have a brilliant method of hooking you until the end. They show bits and pieces of progress throughout the show and you get a taste of what they’re going for, but it’s not until the end that you get the big reveal and see how it all came together.
Over the past month, I’ve swatched out 10 of my favorite Daniel Smith watercolors in various ways. Last week, I showed you how to create intuitively to explore color. Today’s video is the big reveal. Using all of the information and inspiration I’ve gathered, I’m creating an intuitive watercolor floral. It’s not meant to be a finished piece of art, but a deeper exploration of the watercolors.
You can do this! Watch the video to see how you can create beautiful florals too.
Isn’t it fascinating how the suggestion of a flower becomes a flower in your mind? I love that about painting. The semi-abstract world of flowers can be full of exploration using marks instead of just brushes.
