Loose Watercolor Flowers with Decadent Pies Palette (Fall Floral Art Journal Tutorial)

In this watercolor tutorial, I’m creating a loose and expressive fall floral page using the Decadent Pies watercolor palette in my handmade 100% cotton art journal. With rich autumn tones like blackberry, pistachio cream, and peach cobbler, this dreamy floral painting comes together with bold black linework, textured flower centers, and a touch of gold shimmer. Whether you’re new to watercolor or just looking to loosen up your painting style, this project is perfect for art journaling, seasonal inspiration, and creative play.
