How to paint a Watercolour Hydrangea
Flowers and Foliage Episode 86: How to paint a Watercolour Hydrangea
In a first for this channel, I am inviting you to paint along with me with one of the most popular projects from my first book New Botanical Painting. Hydrangeas seem intimidating to paint, but when you break it down into individual petals, it is so easy! you don't need the book to paint along with me but if you fancy getting a copy after watching, you can buy it here: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/deWinton...
If you want to enjoy a more interactive and tailored watercolour experience then you should sign up to my Patreon! Here is a very special sneak peek at my Patreon online teaching platform: these are a few of the watercolour tutorials you can expect to find if you sign up for the Sweet Pea or Cherry Blossom tiers. bit.ly/3r0Ooxf

I have your book and loved painting the hydrangeas. Friends from Scotland sent me a thistle brooch, so I was thrilled to see that your book included a thistle. It was my intention to send them a thank you card and paint a thistle on it. So I also paint the sea thistle. Loving painting fern as well from your book. 😊

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks so much, that sounds like a great idea!

It's nice to see the practical demo. The hydrangea was one of my first attempts when I got the book and it's a tribute to your clear, helpful instructions, that mine did actually resemble a hydrangea, and it motivated me to try different colours. Thank you, look forward to the new book xx

Hello Harriet. I'm just thrilled that I came across this tutorial. As mentioned below, your instructions and demonstration are so precise and easy to follow that I'm ready to get started. I do have a question... if I want to paint a pink hydrangea should I use a deeper pink/red for the highlight at the base? Thank you for your wonderful KZbin channel and all the beautiful paintings.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Hi Marge, yes your instincts are right! But also it's just about trying things out and practise, it doesnt matter if it doesnt work first time as you will have learnt something along the way!

Love your teaching! Have you done a peony?
