The Flower Project

A year in blooms! Paint-along project.

Watercolor

In 2024 I released a flower to paint every month to form a bouquet at the end of the year.

They are so fun.

In my videos I share watercolor as my medium but of course it is open to any medium. Watch my introduction video here:




Watercolor / Pen & Watercolor / Pen

Different ways to paint/draw the flowers. I will l show the first version. Try different mediums too, explore, create, mess up and make more. Don't Stop.


Different vase ideas for your bouquet.

I used the templates to also just use pen to sketch them.


KingArt Inkline Pens.

I used the templates to use gouache to paint them on old book pages.
