Sweet Pea

by Laura Watson April 01, 2022

Welcome to the April 2022 full length tutorial! This month we are painting a sweet pea, which is the birth flower for April.

Mindset TIP: Don't rush yourself through the painting process. If you feel like you are not sure what to do next, let your painting dry and walk away for a moment and come back with fresh eyes. Taking a step back for a moment can be very helpful.
