How to Paint Loose Watercolor Flowers (on any paper) | Step by Step Painting Tutorial for Beginners

Loose watercolor is a lot of fun for beginners and more experienced artists alike, but when you first decide you want to paint loose you might find it's harder than it looks. In this video I'm going to show you step by step how to create a striking modern watercolor floral using some of my favourite tricks of the trade to (almost!) guarantee a result you'll be happy with. PLUS I'll show you how to adjust the way you paint for different paper surfaces, by painting the same design twice at the same time, on Meeden 100% cotton and Bockingford cellulose paper. So get ready with whatever supplies you already have, relax, and let's get loose with our watercolors!

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...
