Bluebells in Watercolour
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
Our blue wildflower this month is the English Bluebell. Though small in stature, a forest floor covered in these flowers is certainly a feast for the eyes.
It can be difficult to keep the bell shaped flowers light and airy, so always make sure to keep your washes light.
Happy Painting 🎨
