Hello & Happy Wednesday everyone. This week I am sharing a video from Olga Koelsch on doing Translucent petals on a Poinsettia. ( I have never seen a plant like this so, it caught my eye one day when I was scrolling YouTube for ideas that I wanted to try) The full name of this video is "How to Paint Outstanding watercolor Christmas flower - Poinsettia" seen here on YouTube.
The Keyword for this challenge is WCW183 (just like that no spaces)
You can find the gallery for this challengehere.

We also have an under construction Pinterest board of Watercolor host samples seen here

Stacy, this looks amazing, but not easy. I am going to give it a try but mine likely won't look like hers. We will see how it goes! Thanks for the challenge.
I did do mostly water to fill in the outlines of color petal shapes and then I did use 3 brushes at once, I had one that was probably a size 6 or 8 round ( with the red wash or water on it) and two smaller ones to add the green or deeper pigmented red to the edges of mine.
This was a gorgeous challenge, unfortunately my skills weren't quite up to it, but that gave me the freedom to add some gel pen and stickle lines to jazz it up a bit. Thanks for the challenge, Stacy!
It's lovely to learn new techniques to play with.
