Painting on Round Watercolor Paper (Petunia real-time painting tutorial with 4 colors)

Hi friends, we went to Belfast last weekend and I popped into my favorite little art shop there called Fiddleheads. I saw some beautiful handmade round watercolor paper packs there and decided to try them out!

Here is the reference photo I took. A few blooms fell off of the potted petunia I got for my mom for mothers day so I put them in a shot glass, Fancy!

The paper surface is hot-pressed and smoother than other handmade papers I have used. I really liked it! You can check it out and paint along in today’s tutorial

Supplies (Affiliate links used)

• Shizen 8″ round watercolor paper
• M Graham Watercolor in Ultramarine, sap green, gamboge, quin Rose
• My Signature watercolor brushes

I think if I were to frame this I would mount it on a black matboard and then cut a square mat to go around the paper so you can see the pretty deckle edge and then frame it in a sure frame. They make 12″ square frames for record albums and scrapbook pages so they are pretty easy to find. Would you frame it? Happy crafting!
