Petunia in Watercolour
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
Our project in watercolour this month is this pretty pink trailing Petunia. They are a beautiful bedding and basket plant here in the UK that are often overlooked as a painting subject. I think they are fabulous to paint with their complex veining patterns and soft hairy leaves and stems. I hope you also enjoy painting this one!
