Hedgerow Berries & Hips — 20 Watercolour Templates + Colour Recipe Cards (Premium Reference Set)

The late-summer hedgerow at peak — twenty British berries, hips, and haws drawn as soft pencil lineart with painted references and colour recipes. Glossy rosehips from the dog rose and rugosa, the silvery-purple bloom of sloes, scarlet hawthorn haws, elderberry clusters drooping under their own weight, mountain ash berries flame-bright.

For the painter who loves a foraging walk — every one of these has its own berry-red, and the recipe cards mean you don't have to guess.

THE COLOUR RECIPE LAYER

"Berry red" is twelve different colours. Rosehip-orange-red is not hawthorn-scarlet is not blackthorn-purple-with-bloom is not elderberry-near-black. Each recipe card spells out the exact mix and notes the bloom (the dusty silvery surface on sloes and damsons) which is a separate colour layered last.

TIPS FOR PAINTING THEM

Glossy berries need a tiny reserved white highlight on each one — don't try to add it back. Bloom (the silvery dust on sloes) is a gentle dry-brush of warm grey over the dried base colour. Clusters reward darkening the shadow side of the cluster, not each berry individually.
