Watercolor Trillium Tutorial – Blow Painting with a Straw
One of the first flowers I think of in spring is the Trillium. I enjoy looking for their unique sets of three leaves during hikes in the woods near our home. I keep an eye out for other three-leaved plants, too (poison ivy), but with less thrill when sighted. Trillium bloom in white, yellow or burgundy, but it’s rare that I actually get to see one blooming. Today, I’ll show you one of the watercolor techniques that we talked about last week on a calligraphy drawn trillium. You could use any of the techniques for this project, but I decided to try the blown paint watercolor technique for this tutorial.
