Paint a Tulip in Watercolour
A complete free tutorial from botanical artist Emma Tildesley. Watch every step, from first wash to finished painting, and download the line drawing to start from.

Hello, I'm Emma. I paint botanicals from life in my studio in Worcestershire, and I teach people all over the world to do the same.
This fiery spring tulip is a lovely watercolour project. Wash by wash you'll build the flame of colour through the petals, keep the lights bright, and finish with a bloom that glows off the page.
Pop your email below and I'll open the full video tutorial for you straight away, with the line drawing to download and print. It costs nothing, and you'll also hear from me when new free tutorials and live classes come up.
