Negative Painting Watercolor: Simple Techniques for Loose Florals

This is fantastic work. You really embraced the negative painting concept here, and it absolutely shows.I love how bold and confident this piece feels. Your darker negative spaces make the flowers and leaves pop beautifully, and all the little details and patterns throughout the painting keep the eye moving around the page.You also did a wonderful job balancing structure with creativity. Even with all the overlapping shapes, everything still feels organized and intentional.And honestly, your color choices are lovely. The soft pastels against the dark background create such a striking contrast without feeling harsh.This feels joyful, expressive, and full of personality. Beautifully done.

Thank you so much, Brenda for your kind review! I feel encouraged to try more negative paintings now.

This class is easy to follow and very helpful understanding negative painting.
