Painting Rosebuds in Watercolor

I am finally back in the studio and in the classroom and it feels good!



In this video I show you how to pick a good brush with breaking the budget, and paint rosebuds using only the 3 primary colors, Quin Red, French Ultramarine Blue and Transparent Yellow! Using a limited palette is often a good idea, especially if you are a beginner - that way you avoid getting mud!



You can use any colors that speaks to you, and create your own design to paint a colorful painting of rosebuds!

Painting a Dancing Crane In Watercolor

Inspired by my visit to Hornborgasjön in Sweden a few years ago. Here about 20.000 cranes gather every spring to rest, fourage and perform their mating dances. An unforgettable sight which I have wanted to paint for a while. Now I have finally worked out a couple of sketches, and here is my demo of my first watercolor painting of a Dancing Crane. Enjoy!

Hope you try it out!
