Hey there, my name is Anastasia, I am 31 years old and a freelance artist from Germany. For as long as I can remember, I have been drawing & painting and over the years I tried a lot of different painting techniques. I started to paint with watercolors in 2019 and instantly fell in love with these light and flowing paints. By now I combine watercolors with black fineliner and my favorite motifs to draw are flowers in all their different colors & shapes.

Step 1
Paper and frame
Cut your watercolor paper (at least 300 gsm) in a rectangular shape and draw a square & the first flower with a black waterproof fineliner.
Step 2
The meadow
Draw a little meadow scene within the square with your favorite flowers.
Step 3
First layer
Apply the first watercolor layer with a round watercolor brush (KUM Memory Point, size 4 or 6) which should be not too dark.
Step 4
More depth
You can apply now another layer to create more depth to your flowers.
Step 5
Background
Now you can use your KUM French Aqua brush (size 6) to paint your watercolor background. Apply clear water in between your flowers and then use the wet-in-wet technique to paint your background.
Step 6
Speckles and a kind word
Finally you can add some speckles & some kind words to finish your greeting card.
