Watercoloring is like meditation to me. I started watercoloring a little over 2 years ago and now I religiously practice watercoloring because its such a stress buster after long tiring day at office! Last week I came across this really pretty floral alphabets on Instagram by Zaafiqa Aida and I was totally in love with them. I tried a different version of the same floral alphabets but in small letters and thats what I am sharing with you guys today.

I first drew the outline of the alphabets with a pencil and decided where to have the flowers.I realised that positioning the florals somewhat mid way of the alphabets made them look prettier as they looked balanced.

For the florals, I limited myself to swirl roses in pinks, orange and in a few white shades. I love prima watercolors and all the florals were painted with their shades from classics and tropicals palette.

Once the florals and leaves were dry , I used a black brushpen to outline the alphabet portion and then carefully filled in the oultines. I used tombow black brushpen to make the outline and then filled the insides with zig black brushpen. I felt the zig black was more intense but for outlining, I preferred the stronger tombow nib.

For smaller alphabets, I reduced the number and size of the florals so that major portion of the alphabet was visible. I think it would be advisable to do each steps all at a time for all the alphabets. Like pencil alphabet outlines, painting florals etc. That way the style remains same in all the alphabets.

First of all, its upto you to decide what for you want to learn. For me, its a hobby to learn new way of creative outlets. If I feel like, I do incorporate my works in cards, home decor etc. If you want you can make a business out of it. Its purely your call!
