Translucent Iris

This advanced watercolor project focuses on painting a delicate, light-filled iris flower with beautiful translucency and fine detail. The tutorial guides you step-by-step through building a soft, dreamy background using the wet-on-wet technique, with subtle hints of distant blooms to add atmosphere and depth. The foreground is all about precision—capturing the papery texture of the spathe and the intricate structure of the iris petals.

While this lesson is best suited for artists with some watercolor experience, adventurous beginners are welcome to try. Tackling more advanced subjects is a great way to grow your skills and gain confidence in handling water, color, and detail.
