Loose Watercolor Lantana Camara with dense background leaves using negative painting technique

Hey Everyone!

Thank you for joining in this fun class on painting beautiful wildflowers called Lantana Camara. They are also called Wild Sage and have different names in the local languages.

These flowers have a bunch of florets called umbels connected in the center. The center part has little square shapes. These come in various color combinations like a yellow-orange, yellow-pink-red, white-purple etc. In this class we will use the yellow-pink-red combination for the flowers.

We will learn to create the dense foliage of leaves by using the negative painting technique.

This is a beginner friendly class and I have broken down all major elements into smaller parts to simplify them.

• Any Brand Watercolor Paper- 300 GSM 100 % Cotton Preferably
