WORKING WITH MIXED MEDIA PAPER AND WHY I LOVE IT

In this full length, easy wild rose tutorial I will show you how to paint a wild rose in watercolour. I have chosen to work on mixed media paper and I'll explain why I love it, how I accidentally overworked it, and how I solved this watercolour problem. I provide you with a free trace down drawing and reference photograph, so that you can paint along with me. I want to make art accessible to everyone so I have simplified the process - botanical art the easy way! We will cover wet on dry watercolour application as well as wet in wet, colour glazing and all things watercolour.

Hi - I'm Helen Campbell (also known as Rae) and I am a professional botanical artist and illustrator - every week I bring you brand new tutorials right here on my YouTube channel. You will often hear me say 'use what you have' - because I do not think you need go out and buy every colour that I use - so 'use whatever you have' :)


The colours I used today are:

cool pink, green yellow, olive green yellow, sap, deep phthalo green and french grey

Paper: Mixed media

Brushes all from Rosemary and co: Link below
