Watercolor EASY and fun Chinese Lanterns. Vibrant and perfect for Beginners

These Chinese lanterns are created with lots of transparent washes, starting with a shiny (no puddles) wet wash, lightest value to darkest. Adding layers and some splatters! I used my Dugato 9 brush, MieLiang pigments and Artisto 9x12 pad. Let your layers dry between washes. When I was first learning many years ago, I would have loved it if my teacher made available to me her reference materials for every project. So now I make them available to all my students! You can find my companion digital Tutorial Kit, and my one hand-painted original, (which will sell fast), comprised of sketch, color swatch and finished painting.

My Meeden paper suggestion is 100% cotton, has a really great texture and is finer grade. My Artisto paper recommendation is student grade, handles lots of water, (still good for wet on wet) and is a bit less expensive. 📜Meeden: Worldwide: https://bityl.co/NGgf 10% OFF and FREE SHIPPING USING MY CODE, worldwide: DEBBIE10 📜Artisto: US: https://amzn.to/46U8DBM Canada: https://amzn.to/46NcnVH UK: https://amzn.to/3GEbTGy 🖌️Also, on BRUSHES, my favorite go-to brushes which I’ve used for many years, and I use in many of my tutorials - 🖌️Princeton Velvetouch Round 8: US: https://amzn.to/3Td001Y Canada: https://amzn.to/3NlhFkn UK: https://amzn.to/3RCMlA8 🖌️Princeton Velvetouch Round 6: US: https://amzn.to/3GAn82O Canada: https://amzn.to/48fwwVv UK: https://amzn.to/3Rl1qVB 🖌️Meeden 10pc set: Worldwide: https://bityl.co/KHIQ 10% OFF and FREE SHIPPING USING MY CODE, worldwide: DEBBIE10 🖌️Dugato beginning student grade 10pc set: US: https://amzn.to/3uXECDD Canada: https://amzn.to/480Gvhu UK: https://amzn.to/41rDdkR Happy Painting, and most of all, Enjoy!
