🌿 Step-by-Step Process:
1️⃣ Light Sketch (Optional)
If you prefer a guide, lightly sketch the *Azalea flowers* with a pencil. Keep the lines soft, as watercolor will enhance their natural flow.
2️⃣ Base Layer - Soft Washes
Start with a light, diluted wash of pinks and greens for a soft foundation.
Let the colors blend naturally for a dreamy effect.
3️⃣ Building Depth
Once the first layer dries, add richer tones to define the petals and leaves.
Use a wet-on-dry technique for sharper edges and a *wet-on-wet technique* for soft blends.
4️⃣ Detailing the Flowers
Add delicate petal veins and shadows to create depth.
Use a fine brush for small details and gentle strokes for a realistic touch.
5️⃣ Enhancing Leaves & Background
Use varying green shades to create depth in the leaves.
Add a subtle background wash to make the flowers pop!
6️⃣ Final Touches
Adjust any highlights and shadows for balance.
Splatter a few light pink or green droplets for a soft, artistic touch .
