Watercolor Pencil Blending Techniques-Make It Monday #74

Today, I am excited to share some blending techniques for using your watercolor pencils to create some beautiful floral images. I am using the new bundle in the 2022-2023 catalog, Cottage Rose. The floral images in this bundle really come to life when you blend four watercolor pencils together to create a soft, yet vibrant flower.
