How to Paint a Red Flower with Green Leaves Using Watercolors

Chuck McLachlan is back, this time with a new free art lesson on how to paint florals in watercolors! In this video, you can follow along with Chuck as he layers colors to produce a stunning red flower with bright green stems, and finishes by adding dripping effects! This art project is full of tips for any watercolor artist interested in trying out florals!

This is beautifully done in a loose watercolor style, and leaves something to the imagination. It takes a confident and experienced artist to paint this way.

[@titarajay.-9338]

It's not as easy as it looks. It takes a pro to make it look easy. Good job!

[@SexyBlondHottie]

I wish I had a sweet ol grandpa just like him.

[@ChristinaFurnerWebber]

I WISH this gentleman was my teacher!! He makes it look so EASY!! What a great character and artist this man is!!

[@skgb75]

Its called an excercise guys; you heard the disclaimer at the end. Being loose is one of the most constructive tools as an artist. Lose the egos and learn how to learn.

[@birahaudigier]

he's like the grandfather i've always wanted, thank you so much for the video.

[@eilidghmacdowell3204]

Transparent, loose, gorgeous! Such a delicate touch! None of this photorealism trendy stuff you could have done on photoshop.

[@withthewolves]

oh, tis video makes me so happy. someone with great experience is willing to share his knowledge. what an honor :)

[@Kevfactor]

damn this guy is good. you can tell they are good if they dont even draw the image before and and yet it looks like it was drawn.

[@GloriaTortorella]

I LOVE watercolors, they are messy yet so elegant.

[@AllenVaile]

Very free-flowing style that utilizes all the qualities/characteristics of water and moves it all in a very beautiful direction !!!

[@jessicawarren1850]

It is, absolutely, my cup of tea! 💜☕️💜

[@macgirl730]

This is simply Gorgeous! I LOVE the looseness and flow, I wish my watercolor painting would have such freedom! Thank you dear sir!

[@nicoledesaeger9567]

Very inspiring, gives me the urge to go to my paintings and brushes.Thank you

[@rkayw6798]

I love this guy :D

[@mariawalker8403]

And, I also want to add that I don't see how this painting and/or style of painting couldn't be anybody's "cup of tea." It's absolutely gorgeous! I sensed your self-criticism and that makes me sad - you are amazing!

[@finchcarvingadiamond]

WOW. I love this guy. My relatives got me a water color set for my birthday, and I just happened to stumble along this video. I love how he uses delicate, faint shapes, and gradually, adding depth and color value to certain areas, helps guide your brain into seeing a recognizable image. I am astounded by his precision. Some of the last things my grandma did was simple watercolors, and though she was never as good as he, her work is just as important in my heart.

[@AcidBlackLove86]

I really like this picture of a rose! I must try this loose style of painting. I especially like the little flicks of paint, it really made my eyes just widen and have an "AHA!" moment. Very helpful demonstration.

[@neryharnish1717]

I love how they look, not perfect or fussy... just beautiful!

[@hellolife02]

I love this guy. He's adorable and he is an amazing artist! :)

[@mxikna]

The teacher that I dream! thanks to shared this video!

[@zwolf792]

AJveryberrycat....you're right and I find there is always a little gem from people who have been around a long time something you won't get from any other artist, because of their exprience....and that is what I look for when I watch or listen. I've been around a while too and its that one little thing I hadn't known before.

[@brextonolesky-lee8231]

I love watching chuck

[@caroldowns8520]

I think it is truly beautiful! And it's really a lesson in looseness. Thank you, Jerry!
