How to paint 9 flowers with watercolor for beginners

I've gone back to painting flowers with watercolors again. For the past two years I've been more into painting places that doing doodles and more playful work. Anyway, I was tidying up my archives recently and came across some unfinished work: painting alphabet letters using flowers. I decided to finished the M, and ended up painting some more, and in the process did some loose flowers paintings explorations.

It then hit me that, given that we are finally in spring, it was the perfect beginners tutorials subject for April. As usual the video explains the process and the colors I use, this page is more to list the materials used and leave some pictures of the finished work.
