Let’s dive into the vibrant world of tropical plants and flowers using beautiful, expressive watercolor techniques!

My name is Priya from Petals by Priya Watercolor Designs and I’m based in Honolulu, Hawaii. I’ve always been inspired and amazed by the true beauty of all the plants and flowers I’m surrounded by here on the island. The deep, rich greens… the vibrant shades of pinks, oranges, and yellows… and the sheer size of some of these plants provide endless inspiration for my artwork.

Inside this class, we’ll learn how to paint an array of tropical botanicals, including:

Hibiscus
Banana Leaves
Bird of Paradise
Plumeria
Hawaiian Ginger

We’ll utilize blending to create soft gradients on the plumeria petals, we’ll practice our layering skills for adding texture on the hibiscus, we’ll master the wet-on-wet technique to capture the natural, glossy sheen of the banana leaves, and we’ll fine tune our water and brush control along the way.

You’ll leave with a new set of skills, techniques, and experiences to utilize in all your future creations as an artist so you can move forward with creative confidence.

While some of the techniques I’ll show you are more geared toward intermediate artists, the class overall is suitable for watercolor enthusiasts of any level. I’ve broken down each project into bite-sized lessons with real-time instruction so you can follow along at your own pace.

When you’re ready, grab your supplies and let’s get started!
