Painting watercolour flowers in 3 styles
Would you like to make your own watercolour flower artwork? In this easy DIY, you will paint three different floral designs step by step and discover how relaxing watercolour painting can be. A lovely creative project for anyone who enjoys flowers, colour and trying watercolour techniques at home.
1
For your first flower, the tulip, paint an S-shape using the colour Permanent Rose.
2
Widen the shape with your brush. Use heavily diluted paint for this.
3
Repeat this shape mirrored on the right-hand side. Then paint a pointed petal shape in the centre.
4
If you want to work faster, dry the paint in between with a heat tool.
5
Using a more concentrated amount of Permanent Rose, paint fine lines in the petals.
6
Repeat this as shown in the photo.
7
Then gently go over the lines with a damp brush so that they soften slightly.
8
Add more lines with more concentrated paint for extra detail.
9
Use the colour Phthalo Green for the stem.
10
Then paint the leaves. A tulip has large, long leaves, so let the leaf extend down to the bottom of the stem.
11
Add extra details to the leaf with more concentrated paint. Your tulip is now finished.
12
For the roses, paint a rough, rounded shape. Use paint that is not too concentrated.
13
Paint the same shape two more times below the first one to form a beautiful composition.
14
Then paint small C-shapes from the inside out for the detail. Repeat this for all the flowers.
15
For the leaf, first paint the outline as shown in the photo.
16
Then fill in the leaf with heavily diluted paint.
17
Next, add details to the leaf and paint small dots around the edge. Your roses are now finished.
18
For the hydrangea, first paint lots of small star-shaped flowers using a light layer of paint. Try to keep the rounded shape of the flower in mind.
19
Then go over the same shapes again with a more concentrated colour. This creates more depth in the flower.
20
Using a dark blue pencil, draw the same kind of little flowers throughout the flower.
