Don’t these pressed phlox blooms look watercolored? I thought I’d use a few of them with some elementary watercolor work. They’re real though, I swear!
I still can’t get over how beautiful pressed flowers look!
I chose and mixed a few different shades of green watercolor.
Using different-sized brushes, I made random strokes of green.
I started with a diluted mix of light green.
Layered on another layer of green strokes.
Yellow green.
Dark green.
I think I’ll be making a few more pieces like this! I love it.
