Watch ad-free on Patreon:   / 79329   Daffodils don't have to be impossibly difficult! This painting is a watercolor warmup exercise to practice water control, laying in a graduated wash, and assorted brushstrokes. And at the same time I'll show you a simple and fun way of giving the impression of a bright and cheerful field of daffodils. It's an ideal method for creating a stress-free card or gift tag, if you paint smaller, or if you paint yours the same size as mine it would make a cute set of bookmarks. As well as a sheet of watercolour paper, all you need is the following limited palette, a No. 10 and No. 7 round synthetic brush and an old toothbrush.
