Easy Watercolor Flower Painting (Pastel Floral Art Journal Tutorial)

If you’re in the mood to play with soft color and create something light, loose, and full of personality, this one’s for you. In this tutorial, I’m using the Pastel Dreams watercolor set to create a whimsical floral art journal page with soft blends, layered color, and expressive ink details. We’re combining watercolor, simple sketching, and a few mixed media touches to create flowers that feel relaxed, playful, and completely your own. You’ll learn how to: 🎨 Create a soft watercolor background using pastel tones 🌸 Paint loose, expressive flowers with the Pastel Dreams palette ✏️ Add ink sketching for definition and movement 🖌 Layer color and detail without overworking your page ✨ Build depth while keeping that light, airy feel 00:00 Intro 6:06 Painting the Background 9:14 Sketching the Flowers 12:32 Painting the Flowers 21:25 Adding Details with Fan Brush 25:41 Adding More Detail Lines 31:38 Adding Finishing Touches 👉 Subscribe for more watercolor art journal ideas, beginner-friendly painting projects, and mixed media fun every week!
