Über diesen Kurs
Welcome to this relaxing watercolor tutorial, where we’ll paint a beautiful light purple rhododendron flower—a beloved garden bloom with graceful petals and vibrant buds.
This class is ideal for watercolor enthusiasts looking to slow down, refine their techniques, and build confidence painting delicate floral subjects. We’ll focus on key watercolor skills, including:
-
Using the charging technique for expressive color transitions
-
Mastering wet-on-dry applications with precision
-
Capturing glowing light and softness in petals
-
Layering light, midtones, and deep values for realistic depth
-
Practicing patience and mindfulness through a calm, step-by-step process
Even if the subject seems a little complex at first, you’ll be guided every step of the way. This project is broken down into manageable parts to keep things approachable and fun.
By the end, you’ll have a vibrant floral painting full of light, texture, and natural beauty—and, I hope, a deeper appreciation for the quiet joy of painting.
Praxisnahes Kursprojekt
I’ve prepared a selection of helpful resources for your project, available in the Projects and Resources section. You’ll find a PDF with the supply list I used for this painting, along with a reference photo and an image of my finished artwork for guidance. Line drawings in various sizes are also provided, so you can print and transfer them onto your watercolor paper in the size that best fits your needs. My painting is in a 12 x 9-inch format. Additionally, there are work-in-progress photos to help you follow the process and focus on specific areas.
Feel free to explore these materials and use them to create your own unique and beautiful painting. I can’t wait to see your results!
Please share your progress shots and final painting in the Projects and Resources section. I also encourage you to take the time to view each other’s work in the Student Project Gallery. It’s always inspiring to see what others create, and the support of your fellow students can be incredibly comforting. Don’t forget to like and comment on each other’s work!
Lastly, I highly recommend watching each lesson before you begin painting. This will give you a clearer understanding of what to expect at each stage of the tutorial. If you find this class helpful, I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave an honest review. Your feedback will help me improve my content and assist other students in deciding whether to join the class. Thank you in advance!
