🌿 Step-by-Step Process:
1️⃣ Light Sketch (Optional)
- If you prefer a guide, lightly sketch the **Azalea flowers** with a pencil. Keep the lines soft, as watercolor will enhance their natural flow.
2️⃣ Base Layer - Soft Washes
- Start with a light, diluted wash of pinks and greens for a soft foundation.
- Let the colors blend naturally for a dreamy effect.
3️⃣ Building Depth
- Once the first layer dries, add richer tones to define the petals and leaves.
- Use a wet-on-dry technique for sharper edges and a **wet-on-wet technique** for soft blends.
4️⃣ Detailing the Flowers
- Add delicate petal veins and shadows to create depth.
- Use a fine brush for small details and gentle strokes for a realistic touch.
5️⃣ Enhancing Leaves & Background
- Use varying green shades to create depth in the leaves.
- Add a subtle background wash to make the flowers pop!
6️⃣ Final Touches
- Adjust any highlights and shadows for balance.
- Splatter a few light pink or green droplets for a soft, artistic touch .
