Watercolour White Daisy Tutorial

Join Louise in this two-part tutorial as she paints a luminous white daisy in watercolour. Whether you’re just starting out or have more experience, this class offers something for everyone. Beginners are guided through key techniques at the start of Part 1, while more confident painters can jump ahead to the 11:38 mark to dive straight into the project.

What You’ll Learn:

The difference between soft and hard paint edges
How and when to use wet-on-wet versus wet-on-dry techniques
Soften edges, lift highlights, and create depth using brush control
Build a believable white subject using delicate greys and subtle hints of colour
Use violet and green for reflected light and enhanced realism
Create soft, natural petal lines without painting a full background

Artist’s Insight:

This tutorial focuses on one of the trickiest subjects in watercolour—white petals. Louise demonstrates how to make a white flower glow using soft transitions, restrained colour, and confident brushwork. You’ll explore foundational skills like edge control and lifting pigment, all while working step-by-step through each petal. Even if you’re a beginner, you’ll gain the tools to tackle more advanced floral subjects with ease. Take your time and enjoy the process—this class is all about learning control, patience, and the magic of subtlety.

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!

“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!”
