Botanical Watercolor Series: Simple Tulip Flowers Painting For Beginners

Want to master botanical watercoloring? Wish to learn to paint beautiful and realistic flowers but struggle with controlling the paint? Want to achieve realistic 3-dimensional look?

I am happy to introduce a special Botanical Series: here I will break down a learning process for you into simple steps. First you will learn how to paint a single flower with all watercolor techniques explained. And then you can enroll in a little bit more advanced course where you will paint the same flower but using more advanced techniques. 

This way first you learn the basic of painting a particular flower step by step. And when you know how to paint a single flower we move to a more complicated setting, like a bouquet with a background and special techniques. Your skills will grow exponentially! 

How does it look like in real life?

• Today we discover how to paint simple tulips in watercolor. Colors, washes, basic techniques, no background. 

1. You'll learn how to sketch tulips and prepare your paper and materials for the painting.
2. You will use wet-on-wet technique to create underpainting and prepare your flowers.
3. You will master layering technique to achieve deep tone and create volume.
4. You will discover how to mix paint to create harmonious color combinations for tulips.
5. You will learn the secrets of painting a realistic tulip step by step and will be able to apply this knowledge for a more complicated artwork! 
   
   

• After this course you can enroll in a Level II course where you will paint more complicated tulips in watercolor. We will paint a beautiful bouquet of tulips using more advanced techniques, professional cotton paper, create background around the flowers and so much more! 

This course you are about to watch now is designed for Beginners.
