Interested in more about watercolor paint? Check out this video here: youtu.be/N3rz9tbrNzo
In this video, I am going to show you how to mix colors for botanical painting with watercolor paint. This is a great project to try if you are a beginner or you just want something relaxing to do. I used an ink pen to then draw the wild flower (musk mallow) over top of the color grid that I created with my watercolor paints. I hope you enjoy this video and give it a try too!

In this video, I tell you what botanical art is, how to collect and observe reference material, how to create reference material in the studio, getting started with dissections and put together a botanical style study that includes drawings, notes, labeling and a painting. If you are brand new to botanical art or wanting to take your botanical knowledge to the next level and create more scientific style studies, then this video is for you.
Items you need for reference material collection and observations:
a good light
see my video on my filming equipment to see what lights I use: youtu.be/5wM4AfryT9A
a magnifying glass
a dissection kit or knife
basic drawing tools
washi tape
paper
notebook for notes and stick drawings
see my video on stick drawings here: youtu.be/NqgK407qveU
watercolor sketchbook
a microscope (optional)
smart phone camera
small zoom camera (optional, I use a Canon Powershot sx420 IS)

In this video I show you a comparison of three different brands of Opera Rose and what they look like painted onto paper. We will review Winsor & Newton, Daniel Smith, and Holbein paint brands and what their "version" of Opera Rose/Pink is like. At the end of the video I also show you how to paint a VERY quick loose watercolour rose, just for fun!
Pigment Numbers:
Holbein pigment number is BV10 + PR122, Winsor &Newton is PR122 and Daniel Smith is also PR122 though I find them to look a little different :)

In this video, I show you how I create a colour chart for my custom 52 pan watercolour palette and I show you all the colors that I include in my palette for botanical painting. You can use this same chart template if you have the Mungyo 48 pan watercolor palette. This is a great project to do if you are a beginner just getting started with botanical watercolour painting, or you just want to get to know your colours better.

Do you ever wonder what is the best way to set up your watercolour palette? Should you set it up like a colour wheel? Is this the best way for beginners to set up their watercolour palette and arrange their paint? In my latest YouTube video, I will tell you why and how I set up my 52 pan watercolour palette, for my botanical painting. I am using a Mungyo 48 pan watercolour palette that I have customized with my artist quality Winsor & Newton, Holbein, and Daniel Smith tube paints. I purchased extra empty pans online to do this and have rearranged the colours to reflect the way a colour wheel is put together.

Here is a link to amazon where I purchased my copy of the book:
amzn.to/3ihi9YO
This is a flip through of Margaret Erskine Wilson's book Wildflowers of Britain, Month by Month. This book reminds me a lot of my favourite book by Edith Holden, The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady.
An Excerpt from Google Books:
"Margaret Erskine Wilson, late President of Kendal Natural History Society, was a keen amateur botanist and water-colourist. In 1999, she donated to the Society 150 sheets of water-colour paintings representing a thousand British and Irish plants in flower and in fruit, painted in situ over many years and in various places."

In this video, I show you step by step how I paint a watercolour British Robin standing in the snow. These lovely little red-breasted birds are found in the UK. I have never seen one in real life, but hope to one day. I will show you how I use mostly wet-into-wet washes to create a soft yet realistic-looking watercolour bird painting. We will also use a little bit of dry brushing and wet-onto-dry and blending techniques. This lesson is great for beginners that want to practice wet-into-wet washes, or for more experienced painters that would like to learn how to paint birds in a simple and soft style.

In this video, I show you all of my main watercolour brushes and what I use each one for. Having the right tools for the trade is very important with watercolour painting, especially botanical painting.
Here are some links to more information and where you can buy these brushes.
My blog article “All About my Brushes” with more info on my main watercolour brushes mentioned in this video

I was not able to find an exact match for the Winsor & Newton brush I use for painting animals but this brush is very similar in a size 5
kingsframingandartgallery.com/winsor-newton-artists-watercolour-sable-brush-round-5
My other brushes that are used for mixing colours or cleaning up edges are not that particular in the brand you use. You could use an inexpensive chisel/square brush for colour mixing and tidying up your edges. Whatever is available to you at your local art store is perfectly fine.

In this video, I show you how I paint a bracken fern in my nature sketchbook. Starting with a pencil drawing we will add layers of watercolour to build up shape and form and create a realistic botanical study. Brackens are noted for their large, highly divided leaves. They are found on all continents. Paint along with me and see how this comes together. Part .2 of the fern videos will be posted next week and will feature the sword fern painting shown on the same page.
