Lily-flowered Tulip in Watercolour - Part One

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

Here is our watercolour project for this month... a lily-flowered tulip! 🌷

The unusual markings and shape of this flower truly make it very unique. As you may see in our Tender Tulips PDF Guide , there are so many different stunning varieties to grow and observe.

The second part of this tutorial will be coming soon. I hope you love this painting project!
