Painting Alstromeria in Watercolor: These graceful flowers are so much fun to paint!
They come in so many different varieties and last for such a long time as a cut flower.
I will supply the image for the students to trace and transfer to watercolor paper. Then we will begin with washes and
continue layering and end with some final details.
