Watercolour painting of Cherries.
Botanical Art : Watercolour Cherries |
The art of botanical
painting.
As a subject for a
botanical study or sketchbook, how to paint a cherry using
watercolours is a great way to develop wet-in-wet and wet-in-dry
botanical watercolour techniques on a simple subject. The different
approaches enable the layers to be built up fairly quickly with
specific detail added for a more realistic effect.
There’s a big
choice on colours too, from yellow, to pink, to red, to almost black
– something for everyone and a simple way to develop colour-mixing
skills or colour charts.
Paint cherries from
the ‘Garden of England’.
