How To Paint Simple, Beautiful Watercolour Hollyhocks, loose watercolor flower tutorial Floral Demo

/ loisdavidsonart www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OwlsAndF... I'm continuing to try to learn how to paint loose flowers, and today I'm painting some beautiful old fashioned Hollyhocks using just 3 colours, all Cotman tube paints in Gamboge hue, Lemon yellow and Ultramarine blue. But Hollyhocks come in all sorts of beautiful colours, so use any you like!
I use various brushes, see video, but use whichever brushes you are most comfortable with. My paper is 100% cotton Saunders Waterford, cold pressed, 11" x 15"/28cm x 38cm. Thanks for watching, and happy painting!

I love the way you’ve gone into negative painting and creating the flower shapes by painting around them in darker tones. I did this with laurel leaves and was pleased with the result. It’s satisfying to do!Thanks!

[@Mamaosa63]

Hi Lois
Just found you.
Where do you get cotton paper. And what brands do use.
Thank you for such a lovely demo.

[@kathygilliland2873]

do you need to leave the tape on until paint is completely dry to get the paper to re-flatten?

[@cherrysimmonds5836]

Delightful 😍 🍒

[@gloprn52]

Looking for the small calligraphy brush that you use, can you help me? Love these holly hocks

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks, I found mine on Ebay a couple of years ago, unbranded Chinese brushes

[@kathryncurry2662]

How do you sign your work? Do you only sign the back? I’ve heard different opinions about this and was curious what you do for signatures/date. Thanks

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

I sign and date my work on the front bottom left of right away from the focal area so it doesn't distract, but I only sign/date paintings I sell, others it never crosses my mind to do so

[@Megzamani]

What brand of calligraphy brush please. I'm buying all my supplies this weekend

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Unbranded, purchased cheap on EBay from China

[@LHgradeone]

What kind/size of calligraphy brush are you using?

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

unbranded, about 1.5"
