WATERCOLOUR Plants/animals
To start... use photographs as inspiration for creating your flowers.
Practise blending techniques
build up a colour palette you like
Use a small brush to create mini florals/foliage
Drop in colour while the watercolour is still wet
Don't overwork any areas as your colours will become muddy

STEPHAN GREVERS - watercolour artist
Stefan’s work with watercolour typifies the creative and design style of his original homeland with his approach to minimalism and subtraction.
He takes a contemporary approach to working with watercolour on paper.
His work is inspired by many road trips through country Australia. His latest trip to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia has resulted in a series of large scale watercolours.
The form and textures of the landscape are ultimately reduced to a few but exact colour planes.
