Watercolor Painting an Orchid: 2nd Blossom

Video Transcript

"Now I'm going to wet that down, put in some rose into this blossom that's probably facing to the right, it's behind this one. Okay. With as many blossoms as we have, we're going to get good practice working on the blossoms, so what we're going to do is use this brush to wet the entire area of the second blossom. And then we will use the other brush to put color down around the bud area. If we put too much color down, that's fine, normally, we can use it. And we don't want every blossom to look exactly the same, so now at this point we're going to soften up the outside areas of the blossom. All this extra stuff is just happy accidents, it's just going to work real nicely. Soften up the outside edge, and that's the beginning."
