Simple Watercolour Flowers on Abstract Background - Easy Wall Art Perfect for Framing!

In this step by step watercolor tutorial, I show you how to paint these simple silhouette flowers on a moody abstract background. The watercolor techniques used are so simple, such as blends, booms and glazing (layering); perfect for beginners. The result is a piece of DIY decorative wall art beautiful enough to frame and put on display!
Give this a try in the colours that I used or try something different using the same techniques, or even try it with leaves!
And remember, every painting will be a success if you learn something and ENJOY THE PROCESS!

I love this so much. I hope you share photos of what you hang in your home. Maybe you should scan and sell prints too.

[@ErinEnoArt]

Thanks so much Leanna! I will definitely include prints like this when I start to sell👍😊

[@marytesta3003]

This is so pretty. It's amazing how that touch of pink and blue added interest. Thank you for this tutorial. I've been on the fence about Van Gogh paint. I'm going to get them. I'm just a hobbyist so the expensive paint isn't necessary for me.

[@ErinEnoArt]

Oh I’m glad you like it! We used Van Gogh paints WAY back in college so when I took up watercolour decades later I stuck with them! I love them as they are a great price and are rated between student and professional level and perform better than the typical standard W&N Cotman paints. I have never tried the pans so I suggest getting a few good standard colours in the tubes and filling your own palette. They are even more cost effective that way😊

As I said before Erin, I have learned more from you in three weeks than in my previous 20 years. Thank you. Peter
