ROSE TUTORIAL | How To Paint with Watercolors
These watercolour rose tutorials are great but what I’ve found helped me more was an in-depth online class. Something where the instructor shows you even more tips and tricks to get your paintings to look good. I’ve been a subscriber to Skillshare for years now and it’s always my first stop when I’m learning something new. Here are the classes I took that I wholeheartedly recommend:
Watercolor: Loose Florals by Peggy Dean
In this class, Peggy shows you how to paint watercolour roses, poppies, peonies, buds and leaves. I love her teaching style because she goes slow (but not too slow) and explains every brush stroke. I really appreciate that as a beginner. You can view the trailer of her class here.
How to Paint a Watercolor Floral Wreath
Another class I took was by Caitlin Sheffer and here we learn how to paint a watercolour floral wreath. She shows you an easy way how to make sure your wreath is balanced and takes you through the whole process from start to finish. Definitely recommend it! You can view her class trailer here.
Vibrant Floral Patterns with Watercolors
In this course by Anna Lau, you will learn how to create a floral pattern composition with watercolors and apply it to a product or stationery.
This course on Domestika contains over 2 hours of video content. Once you have purchased it you own it and keep access to it forever! There are no monthly fees. See the course here.
I have taken many watercolour online classes so if you are looking for a specific class, feel free to contact me and I’ll do my best to find it.
Do you have any questions? Please leave me a comment below and I’ll get back to you.
