Bonus April Video - Watercolour Calla Lily

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

As a way to say thank you I have made an extra bonus video this month on this watercolour Calla Lily that some of you may have seen on Instagram. It's a really lovely flower to paint and I have broken it down in to small stages so its not too complex.

I have to apologise for the first ten minutes of the video, my cameras autofocus was playing up but I quickly resolved it.

Materials list, ref photo and line drawing are attached.
