Ahh, sweet wisteria! Stunning to look at, and a joy to paint! Paint along with me today as we create these watercolor wisteria flowers from sketch to final art piece. It is not complicated, but it does take patience and practice to wait for the paint to dry and create the delicate layers. I show you exactly how I do it in this video.
By the way: I only use a single paint brush for this whole piece! It's so fun to have a million brushes and paints, and if your budget allows and it is your dream: go for it! But this video is proof you do not need tons of supplies to make a beautiful piece. I have linked the exact supplies I used below, but in essence all you will need is: a blue and red watercolor (to mix purple), a green watercolor, yellow, and if you like white watercolor too.
By the way, point 2: If you are not great at drawing and don't want to focus on developing that skill currently, or you simply want to skip ahead to the fun painting stage, don't fret! Save this video for the future and subscribe to this channel, as in the coming weeks (May/June 2023), I will begin offering downloads of the sketches. You'll be able to print/transfer it to watercolor paper, and skip right ahead to the painting stage with me!
Let me know in the comments how this tutorial went for you! I'm so keen to know :).
