The Surprising Way I Brought This STRELITZIA to Life with Watercolors

This video takes you on a mesmerizing journey through the creation of a vibrant Strelitzia flower using watercolor. This video not only showcases the intricate steps involved in painting this exotic bloom but also serves as a reflection of my artistic exploration and growth.
Having painted the Strelitzia, or Bird of Paradise flower, a year ago, it was intriguing for me to revisit this subject and observe how my skills have evolved since then. As you watch the process unfold, you'll witness the progress I've made, from refining techniques to achieving greater depth and realism in my artwork.
For me, this painting represents more than just capturing the beauty of nature; it symbolizes personal growth and the joy of seeing improvement over time. I'm delighted with the results and excited to share this artistic journey with you.
