Paint a Minimalist Watercolor Floral: Protea
Inside this watercolor course
Let’s dive into the floral world with a new perspective!
Paint a simple yet eye-catching Protea flower without any distractions from the background. Dive into a meditative state while creating bracts one after another and layering all those leaves. You will master two techniques that you will use throughout the course repetitively while creating a beautiful flower.
YOU WILL DISCOVER
Transparency
With special exercises, you will practice achieving transparency with your watercolor layers.
Graduated wash
Create tender bracts (petal-looking elements of Protea) with one simple wash.
Layering watercolor technique
And paint green leaves with shining yellow edges.
Minimalism
Finally, you will create a piece where a single flower is at the center of attention. Your painting will look amazing in a minimalist interior.
By the end of the course, you will conquer two primary watercolor techniques, become a master of transparency and create an eye-catching flower that looks awesome in a minimalist interior.
