Hi Friends! Today we are creating a watercolor floral in the loose style, with a focus on color - complimentary colors, the analogous palette and mixing vibrant hues directly on the page for gorgeous results. Let’s paint! 🎨✨. As is always the case, it's a great idea to come into this with a sense of play. This is all about exploring and letting your sense of discovery take the lead. Just have fun!
