To get the color you want, you will have to add a little water. This is where your palette comes in handy. Place your chosen color into a section of your palette, many prefer the middle to mix colors.<\/p>\n<p>For example, use some red paint and mix with white paint to create pink. In another section, you can place the same color red, but this time add a little water to create lighter <a href=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/en\/shades-of-red\/\"><strong>shades of red<\/strong><\/a>. You can do the same with the color green. To get a darker color green, simply add a little <a href=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/en\/what-colors-make-black\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>black color<\/strong><\/a>. Experiment with different colors until you are satisfied with the results.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Where_to_begin_painting\"><\/span><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Where to begin painting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Begin painting by starting at the center of the rose. You will need to create thin strokes by holding the paintbrush upright or vertical to the paper. Proceed by painting \u201cC\u201d shapes lightly onto the paper, following a circular pattern. Layering is an important technique, so begin by using a lighter pigment and then later you can add darker colors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Creating_larger_Petals\"><\/span><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Creating larger Petals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In step 1, you began forming smaller petals, now from the center work your way out paining larger petals as you go. Forming the larger petals is fairly simple, you follow the same \u201cC\u201d shape as before, but instead of lighter strokes, you need to push the brush down harder while forming your shape. This will create a thicker stroke and petal. You can do about two layers of medium-sized petals.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28471\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how-to-paint-watercolor-flowers.jpg\" alt=\"how to paint watercolor flowers\" width=\"942\" height=\"643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how-to-paint-watercolor-flowers.jpg 942w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how-to-paint-watercolor-flowers-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how-to-paint-watercolor-flowers-768x524.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how-to-paint-watercolor-flowers-610x416.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how-to-paint-watercolor-flowers-480x328.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Forming_and_ending_with_thicker_Petals\"><\/span><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Forming and ending with thicker Petals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To create thicker petals, you will need to add more pressure to the brush. Form the same shape as your medium and small petals, but as you press down all the way, hold the brush at about a 45-degree angle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Flowers_Watercolor_%E2%80%93_Adding_darker_Colors\"><\/span><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Flowers Watercolor \u2013 Adding darker Colors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is simple to add in hints of darker colors, as the color will blend and spread with the water. The colors will blend naturally, so you can create touches of color where you think it is needed. This will create more depth and contrast to the final image of the rose. If you notice any white spaces remaining, you can paint in a few darker petals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Painting_the_Leaves\"><\/span><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> Painting the Leaves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Take your brush and use medium pressure to create two corresponding strokes next to your painted rose. You can add a second layer if you wish, and you can use a darker color to create a shading effect.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_7_Flowers_Watercolor_%E2%80%93_Allow_drying\"><\/span><strong>Step 7: <\/strong>Flowers Watercolor \u2013 Allow drying<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After you have allowed the paint to dry, you can then use your art piece.

This is true for both the more abstract as well as the more realistic <a href=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/en\/best-watercolor-paints\/\">watercolor paintings<\/a>. Watercolor flowers should follow the same principals, you must paint a couple of layers over your paper.<\/p>\n<p>When painting with colors, the one thing you learn is that the paint does not dry to the color you expected it to. You might paint a darker color, but it will dry to a lighter shade. This is also why you will need to add a few passes over the paper to get the desired result.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_correct_Paper\"><\/span>Using the correct Paper<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To get the proper effect, you need to make sure you purchase watercolor paper. You will notice the difference when it comes to painting, the water paper is thicker and will absorb the paint. Normal printing paper, the paints do not readily sink in and can form on top.<\/p>\n<p>The watercolor paper also has a special texture, which aids in paint absorption. If you do work with another type of paper, you might find that it begins to tear apart, also known as pilling. This makes it difficult to create those layers on the paper.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Controlled_Color_Palette\"><\/span>Controlled Color Palette<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you paint with a certain controlled number of paints, it creates a certain balance and fluidity to the piece. In the art world, some may stick to a certain number of colors and will similarly instruct others. But art should not be contained in boxes, otherwise, it creates pressure to things in a certain way. Painting should be fun, stick to certain colors if you want but also add something if you feel the need to.<\/p>\n<p>An example of using a certain number of colors: Pick 3 to 5 paint colors and use these for your entire piece. Mix the colors to create lighter or darker shades. Just remember, you can choose what you want to do. Experiment and discover your best method for painting with watercolors.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28472\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how-to-watercolor-flowers.jpg\" alt=\"how to watercolor flowers\" width=\"942\" height=\"629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how-to-watercolor-flowers.jpg 942w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how-to-watercolor-flowers-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how-to-watercolor-flowers-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how-to-watercolor-flowers-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/how-to-watercolor-flowers-480x321.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Painting_from_light_to_dark\"><\/span>Painting from light to dark<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Working from lighter colors to darker is the correct way to paint. You will begin your painting with colors that are more watered down and as you proceed, you add less and less water. When watercolor painting, and you begin to add deeper colors, you cannot go back if you want to lighten it again.<\/p>\n<p>Planning is important, begin with a light wash over your piece, this gives you a place to start and is still at a stage where things can be changed. It is easy to add more paint, but you cannot go back if there is too much color pigment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_out_different_Things\"><\/span>Try out different Things<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Do not expect to create a masterpiece the first time you paint with watercolors. There is also no reason to stress either, take your time and have fun. You will discover different methods and styles, all of which will get you to where you want to go.<\/p>\n<p>Experiment with different types of watercolor paper, the amount of water you use when painting, different strokes, and pressure. You will discover a lot through trying new things. You might spend a bit of money this way, but in the end, you will come out with your own unique style of painting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_a_Step_back\"><\/span>Take a Step back<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned, planning is a good thing but don\u2019t try to get everything done to perfection at once. Since watercolors do tend to dry lighter or change in color, you might want to take a step back and let things settle overnight before the final finish.<\/p>\n<p>Why take a step back?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>You might be tired, taking a step away from your work, you will come back with new eyes. After leaving your work and coming back to it, you might notice something that needs adjustment.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Again, paint dries and will appear different than when first applied. You might have to add more color to faded areas or strengthen the shadows.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Have_a_Collection_of_Brushes_available\"><\/span>Have a Collection of Brushes available<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Painting requires you to create images that are different in size and shape. To get these effects, you will need more than one type of brush. Each type of brush will provide a different effect, so you will need a variety of brushes to create your painted image.<\/p>\n<p>Some brush types:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wash Brush: wider and is the brush you want when applying lots of color.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Detail Brush: small brushes, capable of applying the finer details.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Flat Brush: These are used similar to the wash brush (creating a more translucent layer), but it also creates clear linear brush strokes.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Round Brush: Can be used for more than one technique, used for broader strokes, and can be used for finer work.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Try out different brands when it comes to the brushes to find ones that work the best for you. If you do go the cheaper route, you might be happy with the brush. Cheaper brushes tend to shed their bristles, which are difficult to remove and can cause streaking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28469\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/easy-watercolor-flowers.jpg\" alt=\"easy watercolor flowers\" width=\"942\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/easy-watercolor-flowers.jpg 942w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/easy-watercolor-flowers-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/easy-watercolor-flowers-768x555.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/easy-watercolor-flowers-610x441.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/easy-watercolor-flowers-480x347.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Test_out_the_Amount_of_water_needed\"><\/span>Test out the Amount of water needed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Watercolor does say it all, water being a major part of the painting method. The amount of water will determine the thickness and shade of your chosen pigment color. Experiment with how much water you add to see what happens.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practice_makes_perfect\"><\/span>Practice makes perfect<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As with anything, you will need to practice in order to create what you want. Practicing brush strokes will help you to regulate the thickness, which once perfected will make painting more of a pleasure. Thicker strokes require more pressure and thinner strokes need a lighter touch or pressure. Also, the amount of water and the size of your brush will determine the thickness of your strokes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset videofit\"><iframe title=\"Loose Watercolor Flowers | Practice for Beginners\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2-GUGqvZ3ks?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Most of us have attempted water coloring some time in our lives, be it at school or in our later years.
