Foxglove Line and Wash
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
I thought it might be nice to explore a different technique in this months watercolour tutorial so we are doing a Foxglove study in line and wash. The line work is done with waterproof pigment liners and then we add a simple one colour watercolour wash. This may be of interest to the beginners who want to practice laying down wet in wet washes while leaving a bit of light. Get your pens and brushes ready!
