How to Paint a Beautiful Vase of Flowers in Watercolour | 3 Tips That Change Everything

Painting is about making creative decisions, not copying exactly what you see.
Painting a vase of flowers can feel surprisingly overwhelming. There are so many petals, stems and leaves competing for your attention that it's easy to think you need to paint every single one.

The good news is... you don't.

In this tutorial, I'm sharing the three things I think about every time I paint a flower arrangement in watercolour. We'll look at how to simplify what you see, edit the composition to make it stronger, preserve beautiful areas of clean white paper, and paint a vase that quietly supports the flowers rather than stealing the show.

These simple ideas have transformed the way I approach floral painting, helping me create arrangements that feel fresher, looser and much more expressive.

So grab your favourite brushes, put the kettle on, and let's paint a beautiful vase of flowers together.
