I wanted to do a fun St. Patrick's Day themed project. Something that you can easily paint in your watercolor calendars, your journals, or even create a card to gift to someone for the holiday. With this project, we will be experimenting with the negative space technique to create the clovers. Let's play around with layers and values to create depth, dimension, and a very cool visual effect.
