Today my Grandaughter Addy to came to paint with me, and we painted these washy, wet on wet flowers. Give this a try!
We didn’t practice before, by the way. I wanted you to see how well she did and everyone can do with guidance. Her painting at the end (I need to learn how to create a split screen!)
Addy used the Mei Liang 36 color paint set (link below, under SUPPLIES), and I used WN paints, and for an extra touch, these metallics by Art Philosophy. I love the shine and unique colors of the Shimmering Lights set. (See link under SUPPLIES). We used them as highlights.
In my early years as a student, (and I still consider myself a student!), I would have loved it if my teacher made available to me her lesson reference materials. So now I make them available to all my students! You can find my companion digital tutorial kit, comprised of sketch, color swatch and final (digital) image, and the hand-painted original from my tutorial (there’s only one), from my Etsy shop: https://bityl.co/N0bm
Happy Painting, and most of all, Enjoy!

📜On PAPER, I’ve used Meeden and Artisto for many years, and you’ll see me use one or the other in most of my tutorials. My Meeden paper suggestion is 100% cotton, has a really great texture and is finer grade. My Artisto paper recommendation is student grade, handles lots of water, (still good for wet on wet) and is a bit less expensive.
