How to Paint Forget Me Nots - Watercolor Tutorial
In this video I'm going to show you how to paint watercolor forget me not flowers in a realistic, but playful way. I loved having the opportunity to play around with the color palette and make it a little more interesting.
Random side note—in the video, the pale blue isn’t always coming across. In person, the color is a perfect blue, that hints at purple but isn’t as straight periwinkle as it appears in some of the shots. I’ll try to upload some example photos so that it’s easier to see the accurate colors. Still figuring out this new camera and settings! Thank you for your patience
