Butterfly and Floral Watercolour Tutorial PLUS Flip Through my Sketchbook of Wildflowers and more!

Join me in my garden as we sketch the butterflies and wild flowers in ink and then use watercolour to bring them to life.

Recommended paper includes:
Canson Hot Press pad 20 x 30 https://tinyurl.com/6pa3br4
Bockingford Hot Press pad 20 x 30 https://tinyurl.com/hd84a9sz

If you follow one of these links you'll find cold press and hot press pads, blocks and sheets to choose between. I quite like hot press paper for botanicals, but cold press works fine too.

The colours I used were:
Opera Pink by Winsor and Newton
Aussie Red Gold from Art Spectrum
Aussie Green Gold from Art Spectrum
Blue-Black from Art Spectrum
Hookers Green from Art Spectrum https://tinyurl.com/8atwz4rx
Winsor Violet from Winsor and Newton

Unfortunately most of these colours aren't available from Jackson's, although other suppliers might have them. Jacksons do however have a very nice set of exciting colours from Daniel Smith, called the Jean Haines Set, which include Aussie Red Gold, Opera Pink, and several other pigments that you will adore, for a very interesting price: https://tinyurl.com/2wua6tp9 Check it out!
