Cactus Watercolor Tutorial - Learn Loose Watercolor with Step by Step Instruction

It's time for another watercolor tutorial! Learn to paint a saguaro cactus and prickly pear cactus with me as I show you how I approach each of these cacti in a different watercolor technique. The goal is to HAVE FUN, stay loose with the painting strokes and build your layers and color variations. Less overthinking, more trying and adjusting.
