Cactus Blossom
🌿Cactus Blossom with a Limited Primary Palette🌿
In this watercolor painting session, I followed the Cactus Blossom tutorial by @debbiefriispettitt and painted using a limited palette of just three primary colors. This simple setup helped me focus on color mixing, value, and harmony—all key skills for watercolor beginners. Materials: M. Graham Nickle Azo Yellow PY150,
M. Graham Ultramarine Blue PB29, Quinacridone Magenta PR122 QOR, Kilimanjaro Original Bright White Watercolor Block – 140 lb.
Working with fewer colors is a fun and mindful way to improve your technique. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to simplify your process, a limited palette is a great way to grow as a watercolor artist.
