HOW TO PAINT WHITE FLOWERS - botanical painting

Botanical painting and how to paint white flowers in watercolor can be difficult - we don't use white paint - so the question is, how do we do it? In this easy video tutorial I will show you how to paint snowdrops using watercolour. Botanical art can be tricky but I have simplified the process so this tutorial is suitable for beginners - to help boost your confidence as a watercolorist. There are so many watercolour techniques that it can be confusing but paint with me and I will make it easy for you. These Spring flowers are such a joy to paint.

At the end of this video I will share my hack on how I made these snowdrops super easy to paint making it a breeze. If you would like to join in with the watercolour tutorial, I have posted the reference photograph and the line drawing (in case you would like to trace it) in our Facebook Group - The Wonders of Watercolour (link at the bottom of this page) so do join up and post your paintings there.

This botanical painting is super easy and you will get fast results that you can be proud of - the purpose of my channel is to help beginners to grow.

I have used mixed media paper - proving that you do not need expensive watercolor paper to create botanical illustration.

Here is a list of the materials I have used:
Daler Rowney Mixed Media Paper - 250 gsm/169lbs

Brushes: No 3 and 2 Spotters from Rosemary & Co

Paints: Paynes Grey, Sap Green, Olive Green, Cadmium Yellow Pale and French Ultramarine - all Winsor & Newton
