Beginner Botanical Watercolour Workbook & Tutorial

Build confidence with your brush and learn to paint with a softer, more controlled touch.

This 21-page printable workbook is designed for complete beginners, or for anyone who would like to go back to basics and spend some time practising their brush control.

One of the biggest challenges when starting with watercolour is learning how much pressure to use. We often hold the brush too tightly or press too hard, which can make our strokes feel stiff and difficult to control. This workbook will help you practise using a lighter hand, changing the pressure on your brush and creating simple leaves, petals and botanical shapes.

With regular practice, these movements will start to feel more natural and eventually become second nature.

You can print the workbook and paint directly onto the practice pages, or simply use the exercises as a guide and practise the leaves and flowers in your own sketchbook.

1-Hour Video Guide

The workbook also includes a 1-hour video tutorial where I talk you through how I hold and move my brush and demonstrate the different strokes, leaves and flowers.

I have deliberately slowed down my brush movements throughout the video so you can clearly see how the brush moves, when I apply pressure and when I release it, making it easier for you to follow along and practise with me.

I’m using size 8 and 10 round brushes in the video, but I encourage you to experiment with different brush sizes as you practise. This will help you get a better feel for how each brush behaves, what it can do, and how much control you can achieve with different sizes.
