Watercolor Painting an Orchid: Pods

Video Transcript

"OK, while we're letting this dry, we're going to work on these pods. So what we're going to do is put a little water. Just going to be wetting white on the pods. So just put some water down there. And this case I'm looking at them and they've got plenty of water. I'm going to dab very lightly, with almost no pressure. Just to soak up some of the water. If you press hard you'll soak up too much water. OK. And now we're going to make a mixture of burnt sienna and rose. And we're going to put the darker areas in. And I'm assuming that the light is coming from this side, because these are lighter. They don't have the violet area in them. So I'm going to make the left hand side the darker areas. So I'm going to put down the color in each one. And we have to do this pretty quickly."
