Acerca de esta clase
In this watercolour class, you’ll learn how to paint a stunning magnolia branch step-by-step using essential watercolour techniques. We’ll begin by selecting the right pigments for creating soft, natural floral tones. Then, you’ll practise key skills like my signature pulling the paint method for smooth blending, lifting techniques to create highlights, and dry brushing to add delicate textures and details.
You’ll also receive a beautiful reference photo to work from, along with simple tips to help you sketch magnolia flowers with confidence — even if you’re just starting out with watercolours.
By the end of the class, you’ll have completed a gorgeous watercolour magnolia branch, perfect for framing in your home or gifting to someone special. This class is ideal if you're looking to:

Develop your floral watercolour skills

Proyecto de clase práctica
Before we dive into the final class project, we’ll start with a dedicated practice lesson. In this session, you’ll have the opportunity to practise all the key techniques we’ll be using — particularly the dry brushing technique, which is essential for adding beautiful details to your magnolia painting.
I encourage you to take your time with the practice exercises before moving on to the main project. This will help you build confidence and ensure that you feel comfortable when working on your final artwork.
For the class project, you’ll create a beautiful watercolour painting of a magnolia branch, using the skills you’ve learnt. You’ll work from a provided reference photo and follow simple, step-by-step guidance to complete your piece.
By the end of the class, you’ll have a finished artwork that you can proudly frame or gift to someone special. Don’t forget to share your practice sheets and your final painting in the project gallery — I would love to see your progress and celebrate your work with you!
