Using the "In Bloom" color palette, I'm showing you step-by-step how I created this simple watercolor floral wreath.
Even though I use these specific paints for this wreath, you can substitute any colors for your design! And if you do—send me a link or picture to your design! I'd love to see what you create. 🎨
In this video, I show you a color grid I created with these 5 different colors:
Aquafine Peach Pink
Winsor Newton Permanent Rose
Winsor Newton Emerald
Winsor Newton Cerulean
Da Vinci Lilac Permanent
