Painting springtime crocus flowers

Painting spring!

I’m beginning to release a series of shorter inspirational loose watercolour classes to help you feel motivated and achieve a result you will love in just a short time.

In the first of my inspirational series of brief loose watercolour classes, I show you how to create a composition of pretty crocus flowers with just a few colours from your palette. You’ll be really pleased with what you can achieve by creating simple shapes and washes.

Join me now in my studio to create something special on your paper in just a short time. You’ll LOVE the results!
