Gumtree flower watercolour painting tutorial

Hello, I'm Nancy, a watercolour painter based in Melbourne. Since the end of 2019, I started to paint some flowers and plant, and I had been very drawn to it. For some reason, I found it is very therapeutic. Perhaps because it is a slow process and involves lots of observation and detail, it made my mind calm and peaceful. Especially during the lockdown last year, when I felt everything was so uncertain, painting these plants and flowers really gave me some stability and strength in mind.
Therefore I wish I can share my way of painting with you, and hope you can find the same peacefulness in mind as I do.
In this video, I will demonstrate how to paint a gum tree flower. I will explain how I design it, and using some basic watercolour techniques, wet on wet, lifting and glazing.

[@nelliehenrich6253]

Very nice work and a great tutorial. Can you please tell me what colours you used to do the leaves.

[@nancyliu4388]

Hi Nellie, I normally do mix of a few colours, so I'm not exactly remember to be honest. However, I normally tone it down with some complementary colours, for ex, if I'm using some green, I will mix it with warm colours, orange, red or purple. Give it a go, and let me know how it turns out :)

Hi I just came across this clip. I love it. A question if I may, where did you purchase the glove you are wearing. I would like to buy one. ❤
