In this class I will guide you through painting a field of joyful tulips in watercolour, although you are completely free to let the blooms become any flowers you like. This lesson is all about artistic licence, vibrant colour choices and smooth transitions that let the paint do much of the work for you. We will keep the flower shapes simple and elegant, then explore how to shift hue, temperature and saturation without losing overall harmony.

There is plenty of room for spontaneity with splashes, drips and loose foliage, while a few clear silhouettes keep everything readable. The project is very welcoming for beginners, yet it is still a playground for experienced painters who want to loosen up and experiment with expressive colour.

In this class you will learn:

How to design simple tulip shapes that stay elegant and clear
How to use vibrant colour while keeping strong harmony
How to create smooth transitions of hue and temperature within each bloom
How to add splashes, drips and loose stems without losing structure
How to balance spontaneous marks with a few strong silhouettes
How to turn ordinary flowers into a celebration of colour and movement

Join me with your brushes and favourite palette, and let us paint playful, expressive tulips that feel light, colourful and full of joy.

Thank you so much for your interest in this class!

I’ve been painting for many years now, taken part in many exhibitions around the world and won awards from well respected organisations. As well as having my work feature in art magazines. After having success selling my originals and 1000s of prints around the world, I decided to start traveling with my brushes and paintings. My style is modern and attempts to grasp the essence of what I’m painting whilst allowing freedom and expression to come through. I simplify complicated subjects into easier shapes that encourages playfulness.

You'll Learn:

What materials and equipment to need to painting along
Basic technique to complete your first painting
How to avoid common mistakes
Choosing the right colours for your painting
How to blend colours and create textures for different effects
Making corrections and improvements
Finishing touches that make a big difference

When enrolled, I’ll include my complete ‘Watercolour Mixing Charts’. These are a huge aid for beginners and experts alike. They show what every colour on the palette looks like when mixed with each other. Indispensable when it comes to choosing which colour to mix.
