How to Paint Watercolour Snowflakes
Illustration Episode 9: How to Paint Watercolour Snowflakes
I am so excited to share my fail-safe method of creating beautiful, icy snowflakes using just one colour and just one brush! These snowflakes would make great gift tags or tree ornaments.

Well! Every day is a school day! I did not know that the compass would divide the circle evenly! Off to dig mine out and experiment! It will simplify my mandala creations so much - thank you.

I think this has been my favourite tutorial of yours so far 🥰❄️. There's just something about the colour and design that is so wonderful. I didn't have a compass, but found that wine glasses in varying sizes will do the trick 😉. Thank you!

These are beautiful! Thanks for the tip on using the compass to accurately mark the 6 points on the circle; I also really like the technique of drawing the color out from the center. I have a feeling these will be a bit of a challenge for me, as controlling the water on my brush when precision is important is still tricky. It's easier to compensate if you get a bit of a blob when you're painting a leaf by making the leaf just a little larger than originally intended, but that option doesn't work as well when all of the little markings need to be more uniform in size and symmetrical!

Yes I think the other things to remember is to blot your brush off on kitchen roll if it feels like there is too much liquid rolling about on the page to control. You can always add more later.

This is going to take all the nerve I can muster up to try.....so delicate....I have a hard time being so delicate and not shaking but I’m going to give it a go as soon as I finish my last Christmas gift....a mountain scene wall hanging done in a mix of macrame and weaving. I purchased your book and after the new year I’m making it my goal to work through the book. Watercolor and modern calligraphy are my 2021 goals. Thank you for all you offer us on KZfaq. I have one Patreon membership but I am considering adding you....I’ll see how the finances look in the new year. Happy Holidays to you.

Thank you so much Kathleen. The best tip I can give to calm nerves is remember to breathe and prepare well: the pencil circles and marked out lines mean you can't go wrong! Enjoy it! Also it's worth saying I painted SO many before I settled on these designs that I was happy with!

These are great - pity about those with eight points that you show at the beginning instead of the accurate six-point ice crystals that you paint further into the video - all angles in an ice crystal are 60° as I am sure you could see when looking at snowflake photos. ❄️
