Dahlia in Coloured Pencil Part 1

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

This month we are going to tackle our second Dahlia in coloured pencil and this is a big one. It's a large flower and it's going to take some time to complete, so we will be doing this across April and May. Part 1 and 2 are available now, part 3 is currently uploading and I will be adding another part midway through the month. Then our final parts will be added in May.

Please make sure to check the materials list for each part, as we will be adding more colours as we go.
