Grapes in Watercolour
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
For July's watercolour tutorial we are painting a bunch of red grapes. In this tutorial I show you how I go about achieving the bloom on these soft fruits. Again, there is no time lapses in this one so I have split it into separate parts. In part 1 we focus on getting the base layers down.
