Watercolour "Roses in Vase" Tutorial

In this calming tutorial, we’ll paint a bunch of soft white roses arranged in a glass vase. It’s a wonderful project for intermediate painters ready to explore reflections, layering, and the gentle art of wet-on-wet blending. Louise guides you step by step, masking highlights, shaping soft petals, capturing distortion in glass and water, and building a background that enhances the subject.

What You’ll Learn:
  • Reserving highlights with masking fluid and negative painting.
  • Creating smooth wet-on-wet blends for delicate petals.
  • Capturing distortion effects in both water and glass.
  • Painting soft background washes to make the flowers stand out.
  • Mixing subtle colour shifts for realistic whites and shadows.
Artist’s Insight:
Louise notes that white roses can feel daunting at first, but they’re all about nuance. With gentle temperature shifts and softened edges, form and light appear naturally without heavy colour. She emphasises restraint and control, showing how less can often say more in watercolour. It’s a peaceful subject, perfect for slowing down and enjoying the process.

Dive into Watercolours

No Traffic, No Timetable, No Worries

Online courses are not just convenient, they're better. In our online classes, you get to pause, rewind, and revisit any part of the lesson you want. Missed a stroke? No dramas! Just go back and watch it again. Plus, all our classes are filmed in real-time and fully voiced over. That means you'll catch every stroke, every detail, and every step you need to nail that painting. It's like having a personal tutor on your screen, only better, because you're in total control. So what are you waiting for? Grab a brush, hit 'play', and let's get painting!

Social proof: testimonials

“I am taking an in person class and I learned more here today [in this YouTube video] than I have in 6 weeks of the class… Signing up based on this video!”

Irene

“You are an outstanding teacher and are always so explicit with your instructions that you make it almost impossible for us to fail when following your tutorials. You have a wealth of information that you are always so happy to share with us. I have not as yet found another teacher who teaches as well as you and I have certainly watched thousands of You Tube tutorials. You are the best and deserve all the recognition you get!”

Marion

“Just finished watching this tutorial (I always watch them before starting to paint them) and I wanted to say it's so helpful to have the reference photo showing while you paint. I find myself thinking what I would do next and where I would add color and then when you do it too I know I'm learning -- even before I put paint to paper. Thank you for your explanations and thorough descriptions of what you are doing. You are the best teacher!”
