In this article I share the beautiful Holbein Luminous neon bright watercolors and paint a wild flowers artwork referencing the book “Wildflower Watercolor” by Sushma Hegde. I also introduce the Princeton Velvetouch Blooms #12 brush during the show.

introduce my favorite UV protectant spray sealer varnish for watercolors;
