Painting an Easy Loose Watercolour flower in Azo Yellow

Watercolor Tip for Beginners Watercolor Tip for Beginners

It may start with a field of flowers but what you see is what you should paint. Many artists get locked into trying to paint too much in one piece of art. But if you love abstract art, it’s not always about filling the canvas with details or too many subjects, abstract art lends itself really well to mico-pieces of a flower rather than trying to paint a life like image.

Sometimes getting hyper focused on one of two things with more intensity is a much better way to express your vision.

This easy loose Watercolour flower in Azo Yellow is a great painting idea for beginners to try. It’s a fun concept and easy on the eyes.

Give it a try.

You could also use a little red and warm yellow to achieve a similar effect.

🌸 add a little cobalt turquoise in the center and blend out with water to get the green shades

It’s important to take a step back every few minutes to review what the overall flower shape looks like. See if you can find balance in the over all piece and imagine how this would look on your wall.
