Ideal for Mothers Day - Quick and Easy Lavender Bookmark or Card Ideas in Watercolor

Join me in this delightful watercolor tutorial where I'll guide you through three quick and charming line and wash bookmark ideas inspired by lavender. In the first bookmark, we'll create a lovely pot of lavender accompanied by graceful butterflies, adding a touch of whimsy to your artwork. For the second bookmark, we'll transport ourselves to an enchanting Italian landscape, featuring majestic lavender fields and a picturesque chapel nestled in the distance. Finally, we'll explore the beauty of a lavender bouquet, complete with buzzing bees, perfect for creating heartfelt gifts for your loved ones. I’m using Meeden paints and paper, a Tombow brush pen, and Washi tape to divide my page into strips - but any supplies you already have will be perfect for this quick line and wash project.
