Ready to take your watercolor skills to the next level? In this step-by-step class, you’ll learn how to paint realistic orchids using carefully layered washes, tonal values, and soft, flowing gradients.
Join me as I guide you through every stage of the process—from analyzing our reference photo and planning, to masking, layering, and adding those final crisp details that make the painting pop. You'll discover how to:
- Break a complex painting into manageable, stress-free steps
- Mix vibrant yet harmonious greens, pinks, and warm neutrals
- Use wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques for soft blends and sharp edges
- Create soft, blurry shapes with a scrubber brush
- Build realism with tonal values and subtle highlights
- Add fine lines and markings to bring your orchids to life
This class is perfect for intermediate and advanced painters looking to build patience, control, and confidence in their floral painting skills. By the end, you’ll not only have a finished orchid painting, but a deeper understanding of how to develop a painting slowly and mindfully—layer by layer.

- A PDF file listing all the art supplies used in the tutorial.
- Line drawings in various sizes to make starting easy and stress-free.
- A JPG of the finished painting for your reference.
