Welcome to the beautiful world of watercolor flowers! In this class, I will show you how to paint pink tulips with watercolor. You can create a hand-painted postcard for any occasion like a birthday card or a card for Mother’s Day, or decorate your home with this illustration.

This class includes two class projects with pink tulips. It is perfect for beginners and is good to begin with if you’d like to learn how to paint watercolor flowers.

We will follow simple steps to create the class project:

Exercise to practice in wet-on-wet technique and lifting colors.
Prepare a sketch.
Prepare color mixes on the palette.
Painting the flower.

I will walk you through the materials I’m using in the first lesson, you don’t need a lot.

Watercolor paper: Baohong, 100% cotton, grain fin texture, 300 gsm/140 lbs.

Round Brush #4, Escoda Reserva.

You will find a scan of my sketch that you can trace in the attachments to this class. I also shared some references that might inspire you to paint more flowers after the class.

After the class, you will paint two illustrations of pink tulips and learn the main watercolor techniques for painting flowers with watercolor.

Hope to see you in the class!
