Hi friends! I have another (or should I say 10) giveaway for you today but first I am going to show you how to paint this picture of snapdragon flowers:
Here is a pattern you can print out and trace on your watercolor paper. I recommend graphite paper but if you do not have that you can scribble a pencil on the back of your printout and trace. You can also see my DIY graphite paper tutorial here.
And this is the reference photo I took at the Common Ground Fair this year. I created the pattern because all of these flowers might be confusing to deal with. This will provide color reference though.
And now, here is the video!
You can find the products I used at our sponsor Jerry’s Artarama!
Turner watercolor 18 color set-5ml tubes (List $150 SALE $29.99!)
Mimik Kolinski Brushes (vegan synthetic)
Mimik Squirrel (the large grey handled wash brush I used)
Brush Stand
Arches Watercolor Paper (up to 65% off list on all sizes of blocks!)
Palette
This painting is part of the Creative Arts Collaboration #ThinkPinkArt collaboration and in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month Jerry’s Artarama is giving away 10 pink wristwatches. Leave a comment below and I will select 10 winners at random next Saturday. This contest is open to US residents only so just let me know that you live in the US in your comment to be eligible. I want to thank you for spending some of your weekend with me tonight, take care and til next time happy crafting!

I do live in the USA and would love one of the BC awareness watches. I love pink and will think of you and all that have fought or lost the battle whenever I wear it (I hope I win, I hope I win.) I tend to get skin cancer and worry about you when I see you with your pretty pink skin when you get back from your beach trips. Please, I say to you and everyone else, stay out of the sun! Let’s do a watercolor painting with pink, colorful beach umbrellas and ladies sitting under them and children with lots of sun block on. That would be a fun tutorial. I hope some day, all cancers will be a thing of the past.
