Making the most of your Watercolour Layers

It can sometimes be a struggle layering with watercolour - sometimes the paint just will not do what you want it to do - in this full tutorial I will show you how to paint this purple sweet pea flower and how to make the most of your layers, with tips on how to make a better botanical painting. I have listed all the materials below, but please use what you have. If you are struggling matching colours let me know and I will help you. All of our tutorials on YouTube are full length and step by step - we want to make watercolour accessible to everyone - no matter what your level.
