How to paint Hens and wildflowers – easy beginners botanical art tutorial in watercolour

Today I’m painting two of my favourite hens from the garden. Mrs Grey and Mrs White are a pair of characters who have to be different. Here they are, having a chat under a tree, maybe discussing how many eggs they have laid today. I show you the sketch and how to paint the hens as well as the line and wash process of painting the wild flowers which surround them.
