This tutorial illustrates how a photograph can inspire an individual interpretation through simplifying the composition and varying the use of colour.

I have focused on just two tulips, added leaves and changed the colour. Use the photo as a starting point and create your own composition. Add more tulips or just paint one!

Create a design with flowers.

Pick a selection of flowers with different shapes and sizes. I have chosen a combination of spring flowers with complementary colours. Refer to the photo for reference or select your own flowers to work from.

Capture the essence of a Spring woodland scene using wet on wet and wet on dry techniques.

In this watercolour demonstration I will show you how to capture the flowing movement of this delicate summer flower using a direct wet on dry technique.
