Paint papery effects in watercolour 🖌️

This is so satisfying! ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Hello {NAME}, I've been looking back a lot recently. On my artist's journey so far. I'll be sharing the reasons why very soon 🤫 And the very first painting I made in the 'botanical' style was of a physalis fruit (also commonly called a 'Chinese Lantern') much bigger than life at 41 x 31 cm (16 x 12 inches): As that was... wow... 17 years ago now, I thought I'd make a class on these little jewels - made so much more interesting by their paper cases. But realistic looking papery effects can be pretty tricky to achieve. They often require you to be really subtle, and tune into the details right from the start. When you know how to approach papery subjects though, they're really satisfying to paint. So in [my latest mini class]( I show you how to tackle this challenge, by painting the dry, crisp, papery outer case of a physalis. I really hope this mini class inspies you to create papery effects in your own artwork and that you get as much satisfaction from painting this crisp texture as I do! Please let me know [in the comments]( if you enjoy the video or feel inspired. Hearing from you helps fuel my creativity! With love, Anna xoxo Members get even more: Realistic Fruit in Watercolour 2 [course] The full length tutorial of this physalis is available to members.
