Clematis in Watercolour

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

We have a lovely pale lilac and pink Clematis for this months watercolour tutorial. In part one we will lay down all the base colours and fist layer of shadows.

I have flipped the line drawing around for you this time for easier tracing. If you prefer to have it the right way round let me know.

Happy Painting.
