Hi. In this class I will guide you through the entire process of how to paint this beautiful realistic watercolour Iris. You will learn techniques that you can apply for your future paintings. Will walk you through all the steps of preparation before you start to paint. After applying first base layers, I then layer paint until I get the depth of colour then demonstrate you my smoothing technique to make layers look flawless.

This class is recommended for those who already have some basic watercolour skills, but if you don't give it a try anyways as I will guide you all the way through step by step.
