Supplies (affiliate links used)

• Reference book of copyright-free images *be sure to check out used copies for savings! *The memories of a lifetime series of books is great, they come with CDs of all the images too or you can photocopy the pages. If you can get them for a good price I recommend them!
• Cute Artsy fan watercolor palette
• Waterproof pens (You can use any brand but the Pitt by Faber Castel in S size worked best for me, use less pressure for finer lines)
• Paper: Any watercolor paper 4″x8″, I used Micador Rains paper and if you are in Australia I would also recommend the Royomac Revolution synthetic brushes.
• Other daffodil tutorials: Watercolor pencil daffodil, Loose Daffodil and Ink and Wash daffodil

I hope you enjoyed this lesson and till next time happy crafting!
