Powerful Watercolor Technique (Most Tutorials Ignore) 💙 Blue Orchids

#watercolortutorial #annabucciarelli #watercolorflower
I could no longer ignore this topic because a) it's an is amazing watercolor technique and b) it's so often overlooked by general watercolor tutorials... but it's so so so important, especially when we want to paint realistic botanicals! This video is dedicated to showcasing "wet-on-damp" - that elusive technique that can take place between wet on wet and wet on dry, and produces gorgeous soft and natural looking effects. Enjoy!

If there’s ONE thing that would’ve saved my many beginner struggles, it would be to be taught from the very beginning that watercoloring doesn’t boil down to two states, wet & dry, but three, and damp being one where so so so much of the magic happens. Beautiful tutorial!

Just a side note..the “blue” orchids at the grocery store are actually white! If you look, there is a little green floral tape on each bloom stalk, that hides an injection site of blue dye. The orchids will bloom white on future blooms..

I have been doing watercolor for over 2 years now, but honestly I always struggled with Botanical because they always come out to stark and look unrealistic. This wet on damp technique looks very good for the details so I will definately try and see if it makes a difference!

Gorgeous piece! Thank you very much for the wonderful tips. They were very helpful. ❤️

This tip makes so much sense! Probably one of the reasons why i couldn't get the exact results that they would show in the tutorials! Thank you so much 🌷

I have used this technique before but I am not very good at it. I love the results it produces. This video has inspired me to go back and give it another try. I enjoyed watching you paint the orchids as well. Thank you for sharing and I’ll definitely revisit the videos you mention to practice this more. I hope you have an incredible day and I’m excited to see the dragonfly when it’s added

So interesting, I spent all day yesterday practicing this technique! Just beginning to get the hang of it

This is stunning Anna and such a great piece of information. As I am new to watercolour it is this kind of information that is helpful. Thankyou for your great work. X

Stunning painting! I bought a Chronos after watching a previous video of yours and live it so much. Just bought more sizes as they were on sale at Jack sons. Thank you for the recommendation and for sharing your art on YT.

Great video. I'm familiar with this technique and find it essential for botanical art. This video and the stargazer lily video explain and demonstrate it so well. You could write a book! 😉

[moongardenglow]

That is extraordinary art. How fine and delicately you captured the beauty of the flowers.

[elevans]

Super gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[amykenyon]

Fantastic tip Anna! Can't wait to watch the tutorial on Patreon! Always enjoy your tutorials😍xoxo

I love this technique I discovered it accidentally. I use it when I want some realism in my painting but not too much where I lose the beautiful effects of water color. It takes working at it and sometimes instinct.

[topazgemfairy]

This is such a good video! Gorgeous flowers, and you make me feel like I could practice and get good at this technique
