Loose Watercolor Bunnies: Step by step tutorial

Hi guys! Here's a tutorial on loose bunnies with watercolor. This was requested by a few people a while a go, and I finally figured out a way to paint these. These are so much fun that I ended up making 7 of these and it's so relaxing to paint these bunnies and trying to customise the colours and shapes so I hope you guys also enjoy this one! Happy painting! :D:D

My first time at your channel and I absolutely adore your bunnies! They're so cute and fluffy ... I can't choose a favorite! It made me smile when you put flower crowns on some at the end :) I'm going to try to paint some too, but I'm new to watercolors so still pretty terrible, haha, but I think any wonky bunny I paint will forgive me, haha. Thank you so much for the tutorial and for being so inspirational. I love the way you explain things and the way you paint!

[@Nianiani]

Welcome to the channel! Watercolour is fun, hope you enjoy the journey :p

These bunnies are so adorable!!!!! I love the variety of colors and positions. The one on his back is soooo cute. Your drawings really help make this a possibility for me.🐰🐇 Im looking forward to trying this too. BTW, my kitchen window looks out over the back yard. Ive been spotting this grey, brown, n white adult bunny sitting there for the last week around sunset. Im keeping an eye out for a bunny den, because we had about 4 or 5 babies last year. I loved looking at them until they were old enough to hop away. Spring is here. Yay! The flowers on their heads was the perfect touch. Thank you. Happy upcoming Easter.🌷🐇👯🌸

[@Nianiani]

Oh what? Sounds like you have some kind of woodland dream as a backyard! Must be a beautiful view with bunnies roaming around 😍 Maybe you can paint some of the bunnies playing outside :D:D:D Happy upcoming Easter to you too, Tracy!
