5 Days Loose Watercolour Florals Guide

Welcome! I’m so pleased you’ve decided to paint along with me.

This guide brings together five gentle floral projects designed to help you explore loose, expressive watercolour at your own pace.

Each day includes a printable PDF with step-by-step guidance and a companion video tutorial. There’s no schedule to follow—paint one flower today or enjoy them over several days. The guide is yours to revisit whenever you’d like a little creative time
