Watercolor spring floral card for any occasion

I thought I would pop by with a live video I have done with three different types of watercolor mediums, It's so much fun to paint with different types of mediums This one share how I painted with Daniel Smith PrimaTek paints, Qor Watercolors, and Brushos.
