Hellebore in Watercolour Part 1
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
Our watercolour project the month is gorgeous deep purple Hellebore. In Part 1 we will be working on the sepals.
We will be keeping some interesting areas of light in the petals and using lots of dry brushing to obtain the lovely texture. So lots of fun things to do in this project. I hope you give it a go :)
