The next section is getting that bright vibrant lime green field in to out colourful painting. Learn how I mixed this stunning colour.
Now we have the sky and the filed in place, let's look at the foreground with the white wild flowers in the darker green verge
Possibly the most difficult part is painting in the lavender field.
Here there is a fine line between being loose and not putting in any detail, and giving enough information to tell the viewer what it is and to give the sense of distance.
Painting in the tree and a few final touches.
FINAL TOUCHES - I added more colour to the lavender fields especially towards the lime green field.
I also added a few extra blobs of blue to the sky.
Have a go at this little painting.

Paint this spontaneous and vibrant FRENCH lavender field painting in FIVE easy watercolour steps. Just look over my shoulder and copy what I do.
So many watercolour painters tell me they would like to 'loosen up'. Well, discover how easy it can be to do just that with your painting style. Try it, you will have more fun and get more exciting results with your watercolours too.
I give you FIVE easy to follow steps, working with only two brushes and a limited colour palette. It couldn't be easier. Let go of preconceived thoughts about presentation and detail and just go with the flow.
Let your heart control your brush and let your colours play with the water. You will be very surprised at the result. And don't forget to share your findings with the rest of us.
