Watercolor Floral demonstration With Rae Andrews

Rae shows how she allows hibiscus flowers to evolve from the paint with negative painting

[@kathrynwoolcock4943]

Thank you Rae. I just love your style and beautiful colours. Your demos are really helpful with negative painting.

[@raeandrews1925]

You are so welcome Kathryn.. I am glad you liked it🙂

[@patriciadewit]

Wow, this is such a great instructional tutorial, so well-explained, makes so much sense. For me, this is so much more helpful than just watching someone paint. Your work is beautiful, exactly what drew me into watercolour in the first place. I love the way you let the paint have it's own way, and then how you work your own ideas into that. Thank-you for being generous like this, with your art and your skill.
