Watercolour Flowers Painting: Sunflowers and Bee Masterclass for All Levels

These feel so open and warm, Julie. There’s a quiet confidence in how you let them stand on their own 😊

Hi Julie - this is a gorgeous painting, well done you! Some beautiful shading and tones on the both petals and leaves, and I love your sunflower centres - a great contrast in textures. The little bee is so cute. It's definitely one to frame and put on your wall for others to admire. Your paper looks a bit crinkly - just wet the back of it with clean water, sandwich it between some paper towel, then sandwich between some boards, then put a stack of books on top (or something else heavy) and leave to dry for at least 24 hours. that should flatten the paper ready for mounting and framing. Best wishes, Carrie.   ps: if you like floral painting, check out my brand new class on painting Hellebores, I think you like it.

Thanks so much.  I was worried about the crinkly paper I will definately take your advie and smooth it out.  I have plans to frame this.  Thanks gain.

Oh, I’ll have to try this. You did a fabulous painting

Loved this lesson.  My largest painting I've done.  Really pleased with how this turned out. The glazing really made a difference, thanks for the tips and tricks.
