Step 1: Copy or draw outlines
Use your pencil to copy the line art onto your watercolour paper. You can draw your own banksia flowers from real life reference or images if you prefer.
Step 2: Paint the leaves
Start painting the leaves using a combination of 'sap green' and 'sage'. Using your size 6 brush, load it with colour and press down to create broad, leaf-shaped strokes.
Step 3: Banksia flower
Use a stipple effect to create the banksia flower spikes. NOTE: It may take a little time to build up the banksia shape.
Step 4: Paint the second branch
Using the same process, paint the second branch. Add a small banksia cone using a 'brown' and 'sage' combination. Add detail to the cone with 'brown'.
