Lipstick Echeveria in Watercolour

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

In this tutorial we will learn all the basic techniques you will need for all my future watercolour tutorials. We will learn wet on wet, lifting pigment, dry brushing and, how to rectify mistakes. This is a nice project for beginners using only a few colours. I hope you enjoy painting along with me.
