Hello! I don’t think I’ve shared a watercolor painting with you guys in awhile, so that’s what I’m going to do today! I think this is my largest piece yet. I usually like to work small, because it’s much easier to yet proportions of things right if they are small. But this piece is filled with different flowers and succulents, so proportions are less of a problem here.
Above is my sketch! It took a long time but it was a fun process. I think I made the center succulent a bit to big, but that’s okay.
Below I am painting in the succulent on the bottom left. Each petal is individually painted with two or three colors, so it takes awhile, but the result is much more stunning than if I just painted the whole thing together.
I tried to add a salt effect (below), but it didn’t turn out very well. Salt and watercolor don’t cooperate for me 😕
Above I am about half way done! I love how the center succulent turned out 😍
And here’s the finished piece! I have decided to call it A Colorful Garden (which you probably already know). You can buy prints of it on my shop (as well as on other things like stickers and phone cases). Check out the A Colorful Garden collection here! I really like how it looks on the products so here are a couple images of them. Click on the images to view the products.
I hope you liked seeing my process for this painting! I definitely want to make more large paintings now! Do you have any suggestions for my shop?
Fun fact: someone actually filled out my contact form and asked me to try painting something bigger and/or more complicated but I never did it oops (and it’s been a couple months) so here you go!
Thanks for reading; bye!
PS: I have a new sign off! I recently discovered Oleo Script and it is an amazing font, so that’s what I used for it.
