I am happy to finally be able to share the full version of the Pink Orchids watercolor tutorial created for the Summer Creative retreat with Peggy Dean [there was a wait period of a few months before I could publish it on other platforms]. We will practice wetonwet technique with controlled color transitions:) All materials are listed below, along with the outline and reference photos for download. Enjoy!
