Hi everyone!

My name is Joly and I am a watercolorist based in the Philippines. I discovered painting with watercolor back in 2013. I started out as newbie and learned to paint better through making mistakes and learning from other amazing artists. I just love how we can express ourselves through painting, creating wonderful watercolor florals using our artistic interpretation. It makes each painting really unique!

My instagram account (@jolypoa) serves as my art journal where I post my progress in the form of timelapse videos, real-time videos and photos of my paintings. My goal was also to be able to share what I have learned in watercolor. I hope to be able to do the same here on Skillshare! :)

1. About the Class: C. Let's turn 15 minutes into a handmade card that you will surely be proud to give. Hi, your name is Shale and I'm a watercolor artist, a Skillshare top teacher, and the author of the book called 15 Minute watercolor florals. I've been painting for about a decade now, and my work focuses on loose expressive watercolor florals. My goal is to break down techniques into simple step by step processes so anyone can create beautiful art. In this class, I'll guide you through painting loose beginner friendly florals and turn them into heartfelt cards. This class is designed to be simple and relaxing, so even if you're new to watercolor, you can easily follow along. So we'll create three projects together, a pony floral frame, a sweet, mini bouquet, and a delicate wildflower frame. These are designs that you can easily recreate and personalize. Along the way, you'll practice techniques like using tape to create clean spaces, painting loose floral shapes and combining elements into a beautiful composition. While these projects are perfect for Mother's Day, you can also use them for birthdays, thank you cards, and even for other special occasions. If you're ready to enjoy painting and create from the heart, I would love to have you in my class. Let's get started. 2. Class Overview: Welcome to the class overview. Let me show you all the projects that we will be painting. The first one is a pony floral frame and we have this white space here. We were able to create that using a tape. So I'm going to show you that later on, and we're going to paint some loose, fluffy peonies. Next, we are going to paint this beautiful and simple bouquet. I really love the handle of this bouquet because we left some white spaces for the negative space. And then we painted some simple five petal flowers with some fillers. And again, you can write a message below. So next is this beautiful delicate wildflower frame. So you can actually change the shape of the frame. I made it oval because it looks very cute, but you can make it hard shape or square or even a round shape, and also added a little bit of cold for that sparkly effect. So I chose projects that you can do in under 15 minutes. So I want this to be very doable and very approachable for beginners. So all you need is a round brush, and you can start painting simple florals and turn it into a beautiful card. All right, now, let's move on to the next video as I talk about the materials that you need. 3. Materials: Let's talk about the material. So for the paper, I'm going to use this Bau home Academy. It's five by 7 ", and it's called press paper, perfect for loose watercolor painting. And this one comes in a block form. You can see all the sides are glued except for one part where we can slide off the sheet of paper when we are done. So I really love the texture of this paper, and it's also very affordable, but you can definitely use other papers as well. So for the paints, I am using the brand Shinhan PWC. This is a Korean artist grade paint. They come in tubes, but I just pour them into little half pans like this. And this metal tin is actually from another brand called core watercolor. I just took out the items inside and replace it with Shinhan. So we also need this mixing palette, but you can also use a regular plate or other plastic palettes. For the brushes, I'm going to use the silver brush black velvet, and the sizes are two, four, and eight. So when you're painting, you want a brush that can hold a lot of water and still keep its point. So this is what I love about this brush. But again, you can use other brands as long as it's comfortable for you to use. We also need a glass of water and also some tissue paper to blot out the excess water in our brushes. Now, this one is optional. So if you are going to use some gold paint in your cards, I highly recommend this Kura take gold mica. It's in a liquid form. So you just shake this bottle and you can use the gold paint right away. It's actually ink. So once you paint it on paper, it stays there, even if you paint on top of the strokes. So for the tape, we're going to use this washi tape. And going to use it for the first project. So we have a nice clean edge. You can definitely use other printed Whitapes that you can find in, like, dollar stores or other stationary stores. Alright, so that's it for our materials. Very simple. We just want this to be a quick watercolor cards glass. So now I think you're ready. Let's now move on to the first project of this class. 4. Peony Floral Frame: I before we start here, the colors that we are going to use. So for our first project, we're going to paint this beautiful card with some soft peonies and also a frame or a space in the middle where you can write a message. Before we start painting, let's do a quick recap so that you'll be more familiar with the process. So I'm going to start with putting the tape in the middle. This is washi tape, and then we're going to paint two big fluffy peonies. So I chose a darker pink and also a blush pink because they look good together when they sit beside each other. So now we're going to add some leaves, and we're going to add this while the flowers are still wet, so we do have to work a little bit fast. And then we're going to add some small buds, and we're not going to layer this painting that much because we want this to be a quick painting for a card. And even with just one layer, this floral piece looks very, very nice. So now when everything is dry, we just peel off the tape, and then we can write any message in the middle. Alright, so let's start painting. Okay, so for demo purposes, I am using a five by seven inch paper, and then here I have my washi tape. So you can definitely use any printed washi tape. I just got this from Japan. It's a plain washi tape. And then I'm going to put just one layer. But if you want more space for your writing in the middle, then you can add another layer of tape to make it wider. Let's just prepare a pink colored. I am using the color permanent rose, but you can definitely use other pinks in your palette. And the brush that I'm using is size eight because we want to paint some fluffy peonies right here. We want the petals to be quite big. So I opted for a bigger size brush. Just grab some juicy paint. We want to load our brush with some paint, and I'm going to use the side of my brush to create the first petal. So you want it to look a little bit rounded. Just press your brush up and down, and you can use the tip of the brush to create some thin strokes. You can see I'm painting over the tape, and that's okay. We're not going to ruin that part. The tape is going to protect a portion of this painting to keep it white. Okay, I'm just going to rinse my brush and just add some lighter pink petals. Just press the side of the brush and move up and down. Now, let's use the tip of the brush to create some thin curve strokes. So I'm just going to attach those thin curves to the big petals. So it's going to give us an illusion that there are many layers of petals in this peony. So the general shape of this peony is that the bottom part should be like a cup shape. Next, let's use the color called Slping. It's a nice pastel pink. So now I'm going to just paint one petal beside this pink peony. And we want it to be like an oval shape. And then if it's difficult for you to paint in this way, you can just rotate your paper so that you get a better angle. So the tape actually helps break up the shape in the middle. So you don't have to overthink your strokes, even if they're loose and imperfect, it will still look like a pony. So next, let's paint another petal beside it. So it looks like a letter V. Again, we want the petals to touch each other so that they will bleed beautifully. So at the top, I'm painting some thin curvy strokes just to close up the pony. Then you can just grab some more permanent rose and add it right there where the two flowers meet. And you'll notice I'm working quickly because I want the two flowers to blend in with each other. So you can also grab some permanent rose and add it at the top of that blush colored peony. I think it looks very pretty. It looks to toned. Okay, so we're done with the two main flowers, and while they are still wet, we're going to grab some sap green and add it in between the flowers. So you want the green and the pink petals to sort of blend in with each other, so they look very soft. Let's continue adding the leaves in different parts of this painting. Now, if you want an earthy green color, you can add some burnt umber or any brown in your palette to your green. I'm just going to add it right here where the petals and the leaves meet just to add some contrast. Then you can add more leaves that are smaller and also add some stems using the tip of the brush. Usually like adding these very long and thin stems because later on, I can put some buds, some fillers at the tip. Let's rinse our brush and grab some pink. Just grab any pink in your palette. I'm using this shell pink, and I added a little bit of permanent rose. So let's paint some small buds, press your brush to create this nice oval shape, and you can add some tiny strokes on the sides. And towards the bottom part, you can add some green just to connect the bud and the stem together. Okay, let's go to the bottom part. We can grab some permanent rose and also add some buds here. So you can vary the color of the buds. Some can be a darker pink, some can be a lighter pink. It's just best to use the colors that you use for the main flowers. Alright. Here I'm just getting some green and adding it towards the base of the bud. Right. So I decided to grab a darker green. This is called shadow green, but you can see the green is spreading too much. I'm going to grab my clean brush and let it absorb the excess green and tap my brush in the tissue paper. So we can try to clean this again and absorb the excess green. Because if we leave it that way, it will look a little bit patchy. Another tip is that when you're adding small buds, you want it to face in, like, different directions, or you want it to be a little bit curve just to add some movement to your painting. So again, just press and then lift your brush to create a small bud. All right? Let me just grab some green. And even if my pink and green color mixes on the palette, that's fine. So looking at this from afar, we need some more contrast. So I'm grabbing a more pigmented sap green, just adding some more leaves. So some of the first layer leaves that we painted are already dry. So we can now start to layer or paint on top of them. Okay, so I'm going to grab some more shell pink and add some small buds. So you can vary the size of the buds. Some can be smaller, some are bigger, and you can add some contrast by adding a darker pink towards the top, and you can see they're blending in with each other because the base color of the bud is still wet. Every time you're painting with a frame like this using a tape, make sure that you paint near the tape so that when you peel it off, you get a nice clean edge and not a lot of white space near the tape. So here I'm just painting some thin, short strokes for the stamen of this peony. I'm using permanent yellow light. So you can also use this color to add some fillers. You can tap your brush. Use the tip of the brush to create these dotted strokes, and these are going to look like tiny flowers. Okay, so I think we're done painting. I kept this really simple because we want it to be quick and easy. I think the trick to painting these loose peonies is to paint as little strokes as possible so that you don't overdo it. And again, the tape also helps with creating the shape of this peony, so you don't need to worry or overthink. So now I'm just peeling off the tape, and we have a very nice clean edge. So using a pencil, I'm just going to write the message that I want to put in the middle. I'm just going to put best Mom, but you can put, of course, any other words. I just like using a pencil because it just guides me on where to write the letters. For the pen, I am using the sakura, micron pen. You can use other pen, that's fine. So when you are done writing the message, you can just erase the pencil outline so that it looks cleaner. All right, so we are done with the first project. I hope you enjoyed painting this floral card with me. So feel free to add your own twist. You can change the colors, maybe add some more fillers or other smaller flowers. All right. I'll see you in the next project. 5. Sweet Mini Bouquet: Here are the colors that we need for the project. For our second project, we're going to paint this beautiful and simple bouquet. So we are going to paint smaller and simple five petal flowers and just add some fillers. So before we start, I'm going to show you a quick overview of this project. So first, let's do the outline of the handle of the bouquet, so you can just draw a letter X or a letter. So this is just a guide for us. Next, we're going to fill this in with some color and just lightly paint some strokes, leaving some white spaces for that negative space. And I think it looks very nice and loose this way instead of just filling the entire handle with solid paint. Next, we're going to add some contrast, add some darker blues, and then we're going to paint these simple five or four petal flowers and just make clusters of them to fill in this bouquet using pink colors. Next we're going to add some leaves, some fillers, just to make this very fluffy and just very lush. Next, let's add some finishing touches, paint some strokes in between the flowers just to fill in the white gaps. And after that, we can just write down our message. I put here Happy Mother's Day. But of course, this can be a card for a different occasion. Alright, so let's start painting. I'm using my five by seven inch paper for this demo. Then I'm going to use my pencil to just draw the shape of the bouquet. So if you want to change this and maybe turn it into a vase, you can also change the shape. So here I'm just drawing like a letter for the top part and an inverted letter for the bottom part. Or you can simply draw an X, that would be easier. For the bouquet wrap, you can use different colors. I just prefer using vertical blue. I like this pastel blue color that looks a little muted. So we want to add a lot of water, make this color very light, and I'm using a size four round brush. Using the tip of my brush, I'm going to just draw or paint the outline of the handle of this bouquet. And then we're going to start with the top. I'm going to paint some ruffled edges. And then we're going to paint some straight lines going down, and you can see I'm leaving white spaces intentionally. So those white spaces are going to be the highlights of this bouquet. It's going to make this handle of the bouquet look very light and flowy. I'm going to do the same towards the bottom. I'm just going to press my brush and drag it down. And you can see I have some nice pointy tips. So let's try to work quickly while everything is still wet, let's grab a darker blue. This is still verttal blue, just more pigmented, and we want to paint some darker strokes that will look like shadows or the folds of the wrap. Now we can move on to the bottom part. I'm doing just a few strokes. Again, don't overdo it. We want to leave still a lot of white spaces or negative spaces and just let your eyes fill in the blanks. Now we want to define this even more, so I think we need to add a few more darker strokes. I'm using the color ultramarine blue, but you can also use indigo. Now while everything is still wet, I'm dropping in some pigment towards where the folds meet. And that's where the darkest part of the handle is. All right. You'll just use the tip of the brush and paint some tiny strokes. And again, don't worry, we don't need to paint all the details for this part. Alright, this looks good. Let's move on to painting the flowers. So you can definitely change the colors. I prefer pink because it looks very dainty. Let's grab permanent rose and also the color shell pink. Let's prepare all the colors that we need so that it's just easier to grab the paint and paint the small flowers. Let me start with permanent rose, and here I'm going to paint just a five peta flour, lightly press your brush and then live towards the end and leave some white spaces in between some of your strokes. You can also rinse your brush to get a lighter pink. So we want to make a cluster of small flowers in different shades of pink. I'm going to grab some brilliant pink now. And some of the flowers can be just three petals. So it will look like some of the petals are behind some of the flowers. Okay, so the key to painting a beautiful small bouquet is to vary the colors. So we want darker pinks and lighter pinks. And we also want to vary the shape. So what I'm doing here is I am just changing the number of petals. So let's just grab some shell pink and just paint a few more petals here. So let's just continue adding more petals and small flowers. So you can see we started from the bottom and we're now going up. And as you add some flowers at the top of this bouquet, you want it to be smaller or just a few petals. That way, it won't be too heavy looking. So we want the bigger flowers towards the bottom part. And of course, you can play around with your strokes. You can dab your brush like this to create an illustration of a small flower. It can be like a filler for this bouquet. Alright, so we're done with the flowers. Now, let's add some stems. I'm using the color olive green, but you can also use sap green. Let's just paint some short strokes in between some of the flowers to create an illusion that there are stems in between some of the flowers. I like using the tip of my brush to create thin stems sticking out just like this so that later on, I can add some fillers or maybe some leaves. Now we can add some more leaves and just try to vary the shape of the leaves. So can be bigger, some are smaller. Alright, so now we have the stems as a guide on where to put some of the fillers. I'm going to grab the color lilac. We want to dilute this in a lot of water. We want it to be very soft and light. So I'm just going to dab my brush to create an illusion of small flowers. This can be lilac or maybe some other light purple flower. And this is a good way to extend your bouquet so that it doesn't look too concentrated in the center. We want to add some lightness to it. So usually add some fillers just like this. Just tab the tip of my brush to create small strokes that look like small flowers. And some of them can be a little further away. They look like they are detached from the bouquet. That's going to look very nice. Okay, now I'm going to paint some eucalyptus leaves. So let's just paint a thin stem, just like this. And then we're going to paint little oval shapes or just simply press your brush on its side. And now you have some really cute eucalyptus leaves. Right, to make the center of the flowers pop, we can add a little bit of yellow. I'm just using permanent yellow light, and we're just going to put small dots in the center of the flowers. So this part is optional. If you're already happy with how this look like, you can stop here. But if you want to add some more contrast, you can paint over your flowers. I'm going to grab a deeper permanent rose color, and just going to paint on top of some of the petals that we painted earlier. This is just to add some contrast. But we also have to be careful because we don't want to overdo this. You can see I'm just painting on some of the petals and not all of the petals. So I still want to see some petals to be a light pink color, some were a deeper pink color. And you'll notice that there are still some white gaps in between the flowers. We want to add some depth to it, so we can just grab a darker green and just paint over those white gaps. And that's also going to help define the flowers, make it pop up even more. Alright, so we're almost done. I'm just going to add some finishing touches. Let's grab a very, very light pink color, add lots of water, and we are going to use this to dab or brush onto the paper. You can see I'm painting really tiny strokes towards the outer part of the bouquet, and it will look like there's a spray of little flowers all around. I really like the effect of this. It looks even looser and very flowy. So for some of the petals that we painted, you can attach a very thin stem. A. So we're using ultramarine blue, we can go over some of the folds in the handle of this bouquet, just to add some contrast using the tip of the brush, go over the darker areas and paint tiny strokes. This is just to define what we painted earlier. These are very small finishing touches that can make a huge difference on your painting. Es. Now I'm just going to write Happy Mother's Day, but you can, of course, put different dedications depending on the occasion that you're celebrating. Or you can also opt not to write anything and just give this flower bouquet as a gift. So here I'm using my sakura micron pen. The size is 05, so I want this to be a little thick. Alright, so that's done. I hope that you enjoyed painting this beautiful bouquet. I'm excited to see you paint it in different colors as well. Alright, now let's move on to the next video as we paint our last project. 6. Delicate Wildflower Frame: Here are the colors that we need for this project. Welcome to the last project, and we're going to paint this beautiful floral frame with mini wild flowers. This is going to be very easy, but we're going to need a small brush to paint these tiny flowers. So before we start painting, let me show you an overview of this project. So first, we need to draw an oval frame, but if you want a different shape, that's completely fine. I'm just going to erase the extra pencil markings, and then we're going to use a small brush and just draw an outline of this floral frame. It doesn't have to be perfect. It's a little irregular in shape, that's completely fine. And then next we're going to paint the scallops all around it. I actually find this part very relaxing because you're doing the same thing over and over. So once we are done, we can start painting the flowers. So for this project, I started with the bottom part and painted some tiny wildflowers. And then next we're going to fill in the top part of this frame. So this part is optional, but I also like adding some tiny flowers outside this frame. And of course, you want to add something sparkly for this Mother's Day card. I'm going to add some gold paint, just a little bit of gold accent, such as adding small dots and leaves. Alright, I think we are ready. Let's start painting this project. So the first thing we need to do is to draw an oval frame. I'm using a pencil. And if you don't want an oval frame, you can change it to a heart shape, a circle, or a square. I'm doing this free hand, so I am expecting that it's going to be symmetrical and that's completely fine. I think it adds a little bit of charm to a handmade card. But if you have a bowl, then you can use that as a guide and trace the shape of the bowl onto the paper. So now I'm just erasing some of the darker lines because once we paint on top of it, we cannot erase that anymore. Now let's start preparing our frame. I'm going to use permanent rose and also brilliant pink. I'm going to mix these two colors. But if you only have one pink, that's fine. You just use that. Or if you want to change the color, that's also okay. And just remember that this is your watercolor card that you're painting, so feel free to change some of the colors. Now, I'm using a size two round brush for this part because I want to paint just the outline of this oval shape. So the trick is to press your brush and then lightly drag the side of the brush, so you get a nice clean line. But again, even if it's imperfect, that's completely fine because this is a handmade card after all. So you can see I'm also trying to rotate my paper so that I get a better angle when painting. So using the same mixture, I'm going to add some scallops. I'll just paint a curve line, so it looks like a letter C, and then you just fill in the inside. So I'm finding it difficult to paint the scallops using a very small brush, so we are going to switch to a size four round brush. Let me just grab some more paint. So I'm using the same color as the outline. And some colors can be a darker pink, and that's fine. So can be lighter in color. Now, this part can be boring to watch, so I'm going to speed it up in a while. But as I'm painting this, it actually felt very relaxing because you're doing the same design or pattern again and again. So I hope that you will also have a relaxing time painting the outline of this frame. Alright, so we are almost done painting the ruffles or the scallops of the outline. So I like painting them small because it looks more dainty and more delicate this way. So now that we have our frame ready, let's start painting these many wild flowers. So I'm using my size two round brush. We want a small brush for this project to create these tiny flowers. I'm going to grab the color olive green. So we want a medium tone for this. Going to use the tip of my brush and paint some nice thin curvy strokes. So you can see that there is a movement in my stems. So we want to vary this. Some can be like a letter Y. So can be just one curvy line. So we are going to start at the bottom half first so that it's more manageable for us. So now let's grab some pink. I'm using permanent rose, and this is just a light mixture. So we just dab our brush and then live so that we can create a cluster of petals. Here I'm going to paint maybe just three or four petals and going to attach it to the stems that we painted earlier. Now let's grab some verdial blue. I'm just going to wiggle my brush onto the paper to create a different shape. So it doesn't have to be any specific flower, so you can try to play around with the shapes of the petals. Okay, let's continue adding some more flowers. I'm using the color, brilliant pink. Going to paint some small buds right here. I'm just going to press and drag my brush, so they are going to look like tiny tulips. Next, let's grab this color called lilac. This is also one of my favorite colors. So we can paint a tall flower here. Going to dab my brush and just create this elongated shape. So you can try to vary the pressure in your stroke so that you can combine bigger strokes and smaller strokes. You can simply add some more green stems to connect the petals to the main stem. So here I'm just adding some more color. You can definitely change the color of this flower as well. Now let's grab some yellow. We want to pop of color. So again, I'm going to just press my brush and try to wiggle to create a different petal shape and just add some more leaves and stems using this color called olive green. So there are some white caps right here. I'm going to paint some tiny leaves, just press and drag your brush to create these pointed leaves. I love how this turned out, and you can actually just paint the lower half if you're already happy with this. But I think I want to add some more flowers towards the top. Just fill this in with some more wild flowers. So let's paint with some thin stems again, doing the same procedure. So use the tip of your brush and add some movement to your stems. Alright, let's grab some shell pink. If you don't have shell pink, you can add some white paint or, like, white gouache to your pink paint and just mix them. And now I'm just going to dab the tip of my brush and add some small flowers to attach to the stems that we did. Now, we want another lilac flower, diagonally across the first one. So I'm just going to do the same thing and dab my brush, create this elongated flower. And as I'm dabbing my brush, I'm making sure that there are still white spaces in between my strokes so that it looks very light and flowy. So we can also add forget me nuts. So these are small wild flowers that are color blue. I'm just going to paint a cluster of five petals. Using my size two round brush. I'm using just the tip of my brush and lightly pressing it onto the paper to create these petals. And then we're going to add some more stems and some leaves. And next, I'm going to just paint some small yellow dots in the center of the flowers. And because I already have yellow in my brush, I'm going to use this color to paint some more cluster of flowers, just dabbing my brush, creating some small buds. And now, if you notice there are still a lot of white gaps. So we're going to fill that in with some smaller flowers. Going to use a pink paint, but you can definitely use other colors as well. So just continue adding some small buds and five petal flowers. You can wiggle your brush, extend some of the petals or just dab the tip of your brush to create small fillers. Using the color olive green, we're going to start adding some more leaves to fill in the white caps. You can change the value, so some can be lighter leaves, some can be darker leaves. Let's add some texture by tapping the tip of our brush to create these dotted strokes that will look like small fillers. So one of my favorite green colors is called greenish yellow. So this is a beautiful color that makes your paintings pop up, and it just brightens up a bouquet. You can paint some small leaves. You can also paint small berries. And as we're adding these small details, we have to remember that we have to keep the center open or with enough space to write some words. Let's add some finishing touches. I'm using a very, very light pink color and just tabbing my brush onto some of the white caps so that it will look like there are smaller flowers there. Okay, so we're done with the frame. I'm just going to add another detail. Let's use a medium tone Bermant rose. I'm going to do another outline for this frame. I just feel like it's going to add more depth to our floral card. So feel free to rotate your paper if it makes it easier for you to paint this outline. All right, so now it's looking really good. Now, if you want some more tiny flowers all around this frame, you can also do this style. But if you want it to be clean, then just leave it as it is. So right here, I'm going to demonstrate how to paint these smaller flowers all around this floral frame. So I'm using a very, very light peak and just dabbing my brush to create a single stroke. Some can be double strokes or double petals. With a green paint, this is just olive green. I'm going to paint a very tiny stem, and I want the stem to have some movement so you can see that it's a little bit curved. And next, you can paint some tiny leaves just to fill in some of the white caps. Now we can paint the word in the center. I'm just using my brush with some pink paint. I also did the outline of the word or the letters using a pencil. So we can also add a little bit of sparkle. This is the queer tack gold mica. Going to add some small dots all around the frame. So this is also optional if you don't have this gold paint that's completely fine. I just personally like adding some gold to my cards because it makes it more special and I like the sparkle of it. Now you can also paint some tiny gold leaves all around the frame and even on the inside of this floral frame. So I really want you to have that artistic freedom to add some more color or add some sparkle to your paintings. Alright, that's it for our project. I hope you enjoyed painting this beautiful floral frame, and you can definitely change the colors and the shape of this floral frame. So take a moment to appreciate what you have created.
