Today, I will show you how I swatch my professional yellow watercolour paints and explain why I love these colours. I will be painting yellow wildflowers and walking you through the painting process - I provide a free trace down drawing and reference photograph so that you can paint with me in watercolour - stress-free painting!

We will cover watercolour glazing and both wet in wet and wet in dry watercolour techniques, finishing with a line and wash watercolour painting using these glorious colours. - so grab a coffee and watch me swatch!
