Painting a Bottle Gourd in Watercolor | Basic Tutorial for Beginners

To paint a bottle gourd in watercolor, use wet-on-wet washes of green and yellow-green to shape the double-lobed body, then add darker green glazes along the curves once the base layer is dry to define the rounded form. Learn how to paint a bottle gourd in watercolor, step by step. In this video I use cold press paper, a mix of sap green and yellow ochre, and a round brush to shape the bulbous form and the curling tendril — a great subject for practicing smooth gradients and organic curves.
