If you’re new to watercolour and dreaming of painting beautiful flowers, this is the perfect place to start. I used to struggle with controlling every brushstroke — until I discovered the freedom of loose watercolour and simple, joyful “blobby blooms.”
In this video, I’ll show you how this relaxed approach can help you enjoy painting more, gain confidence, and create beautiful results without stress. We’ll explore easy, expressive techniques — and I’ll also share a few gorgeous granulating colours that make loose florals even more magical.
Visit @fromthegarden for a quick relaxation session before you start painting:

➡️ *About my brushes*
I buy my favorite brushes from Drawell. 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. drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
