This Tuesday! Textures & Transitions: Painting Parrot Tulips Online Course


Hello Reader

While you're waiting for your newly planted garden to bloom, why not grow one on paper?

Join me for this month's mini-course this coming Tuesday, May 20

This month’s watercolor mini-course invites you to create your own vibrant floral display—no green thumb required.

We’ll be painting a parrot tulip, known for their ruffled petals, dramatic curves, and bold color transitions. These lively blooms offer the perfect opportunity to explore texture techniques and tackle those famously tricky pink-and-green blends without letting your colors turn muddy.

Whether you're looking to loosen up your brushwork, gain confidence in color transitions, or simply add more life to your floral paintings, this session is for you.

What We’ll Cover:
🌸 Layering for petal texture
🎨 How to transition between pinks and greens with clarity
🖌️ Creating dynamic shapes and luminous floral forms
🌿 Floral inspiration that you can use year-round

Class Details:
📅 Tuesday, May 20

💵 $25 USD | Included in Patreon Devotee tier and above

Let’s welcome spring with joyful brushstrokes.
Come paint your garden into life with me!
