Mother's Day us here! And for a cute gift I did a watercolor for my mother of her favorite flowers. Its a big combination of watercolor pencils, pens, watercolors, and ink and is so fun and simple to do. First, draw a simple outline sketch of a bouquet of your choice, (key word being simple, the pencil can show through watercolors) then retrace with a thin black sharpie. Use your watercolor pencils (Prisimacolor works great) and lightly color in the flowers and leaves. Go over the painting with water to blend the colored pencil, then go over it with regular watercolors to add highlights, extra color, and a background. Don't be afraid to mix them! Finally, with green ink and an eyedropper, I added some ink spots, dabbed away the excess, and blended it in to give the picture some extra color. Add a couple of splatters with the watercolors, and your done! Happy Mother's Day!
