Purple Lupin in Watercolour: Part One
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
It's time to begin our focus on spiky flowers, starting with the beautifully intricate purple lupin!
I know how excited so many of you were for these projects, and the community gave this series an overwhelming vote of support. Over the coming months, we'll be exploring these large, stunning blooms together.
I can't wait to share them with you, and I hope you enjoy illustrating them 💜
