A step-by-step guided lesson for any skill level. Using basic supplies and core watercolor techniques, you'll paint a finished floral wreath—a versatile piece you can frame, share as stationery, or digitize.
This beginner-accessible project produces gallery-quality results. The tutorial assumes minimal experience while teaching techniques that serve future pieces.
You'll receive PDFs with reference images and tips, plus an inspirational art print—tools that extend the learning beyond the video itself.
This step-by-step tutorial is a guided lesson on how to paint a modern floral wreath with watercolors. It's a great exercise for all skill levels, as it uses basic supplies and techniques.
When you are done, you will have a beautiful piece of artwork that you can frame, cut/trim and use as stationery, or even digitize for use with graphic design. You will also receive two PDFs with helpful tips and reference images, as well as a bonus art print with inspirational quote. :)
Supplies:
1. A small bowl, approx. 6" in diameter.
2. A drawing pencil, 2H or lighter
3. Paint brushes (feel free to use what you have on hand, but this lesson uses 3 Round Brushes, sizes 1, 5, and 10.)
4. Watercolor paints (An inexpensive palette is fine, the one used in the lesson is the Artist's Loft set from Michael's.)
5. Watercolor paper (Cold pressed, 140lb or higher)
6. Cup of water
7. Absorbent paper towel (I prefer the Viva brand)
