How To Paint Simple Watercolor Card

This is a quick free-form painting on a watercolor postcard paper. I used watercolor paints for tulips and white gouache paint for some highlights (yeah, I kind of cheated it’s not pure watercolor, but I really wanted to experiment). I wanted to do a quick & easy, fun painting without putting too much thought into the drawing. Hope you’ll enjoy!

Thank you for watching!
