What You’ll Learn

28 Lessons & 9 Step-by-Step Projects

Each one builds on the last. Do them daily or spread them over a month. The videos wait for you.

1

Set-Up and Learn the Basics

Willow has removed the overwhelm, explaining which paper, brushes, paint and palette to use. Then the first skill: how much water and pigment is held in your brush to get you started.

  • You Learn: supplies, brush loading and the basics
2

Transparency, Value and Color

Thinning color with water, painting value scales and creating easy color mixes. Take the guesswork out of color. This is what gives a flower depth instead of a flat shape.

  • You Make: a full, beautiful color wheel
3

Transferring Designs & Basic Shapes

Discover how easy it is to transfer your designs onto watercolor paper, leaving room and space for filler flowers, strokes and leaves.

  • You Learn: how to apply designs to surfaces
4

Basic Strokes Step-by-Step

The secret to watercolor flowers and leaves involves a few basic strokes. It’s not natural talent and it’s not a mystery. Willow breaks it down step-by-step so you can achieve beautiful results.

  • You Learn: different strokes and how to combine them to create petals and leaves
5

Putting It All Together

Once you know the basics, you’ll be able to combine a few colors and strokes to pull together flowers in minutes. No mystery, just the combination of learned skills!

  • You Make: a variety of worksheets that build your skills
6

Filler Flowers & Leaves

18 tiny florals and leaves painted with the small round: mini peonies, poppies, blue thistle, tiny roses, a little daisy, teeny tulips and leaf combos that fill any space or become the star of the show.

  • You Make: 18 mini filler flowers and leaves
7

Loose Blooms and Leaves

Beautiful big stroke blooms, colors bleeding into each other while damp, and lifting paint back off with a clean brush to leave highlights are just a few of the things you’ll learn as you begin to complete entire projects.

  • You Make: wet-on-wet flower and leaf projects
8

Forming Flowers with Dimension

Trace the line drawing, then build the bloom layer by layer with Willow painting alongside you. Nothing is skipped and nothing is assumed as you work petal by petal together.

  • You Make: beautiful peony and coneflower paintings
9

Painting Projects & Compositions

Composition. Where the eye lands, what overlaps what, and how to stop before it gets muddy. You’ll create the pieces people ask you about.

  • You Make: a variety of compositions and flowers

Plus the 65-page course guide, with line drawings and templates for every project.

I looked for a teacher that I can learn from and I found her in you. You are very good at not only explaining a technique but why we would want it. I’m stuck on you or maybe I should say you’re stuck with me. Thank you again

LOVEd this technique and it made me feel (as a beginner) that I created something really beatiful. Thank you!
@lindamchenry76822 years ago
Absolutely the best explanation of how to make this stroke. Watching you actually do it, over and over, was so very helpful!
