Loose Watercolor Flower – Video Tutorial

I love to paint loose and sketchy flowers with watercolors. I believe this is something everybody can do without having much knowledge about watercolor painting. For this spread I used waterproof ink to sketch the flower first and then I went in with my Neocolor I Crayons and watercolors. You can really easily fit this into a busy day. It’s a 5 min Sketch in the morning and 5min of coloring in the evening. Et voilá… it’s a pretty painting.

I colored them with Tombow ABT Pro alcohol markers.

For these cards I also used my new Sketchy Flowers stamp sets. I colored the images with watercolors. For even more details on the background I embossed the flower stamps to it.
