Create a beautiful painting of this beautiful red anemone.

Remember to watch in HD if you can - via settings in the video!

Helen guides you through the process of using watercolour to create this gorgeous illustration, focussing on layering washes, adding detail with a dry brush technique to create a painting that really pops off the page. Learn too, how to create a botanical grey and botanical black from just three primary colours.

Download the reference photo to have close by as you work through the class as well as the line drawing to help you get started quickly (although you are encouraged to try drawing the anemone from the photograph - it's good practice!)

Sharing your work:

Please do share what you create with Helen and the community in the project section. It's so inspiring for others to see how you get on.

Don't forget to look out for more tutorials coming soon - to further advance your skills in both watercolour, and botanical illustration.
