Painting Loose Watercolor Anemones – how to paint impressionistic and lively flowers

Here’s a closeup of this painting so you can see how loose the work is. I used only one brush, four shades of red, one yellow and one green. The paper I used was a stretched sheet of Bockingford. All my materials are available from Jacksons. Their shipping charge is very reasonable and they are reliable.
