Alstroemeria in Watercolour
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
For our Watercolour project we have a delicate Alstroemeria head. I have been waiting to do a tutorial of this flower and when I saw this colour variety I thought it would be a great subject to show how to use very subtle colours and just how much "botanical grey" you need to use to get nice clean shadows without them becoming muddy. I hope you enjoy it.
