Hi everyone,

I painted some Flannel Flowers in watercolour and made this tutorial for you. I used a limited palette of only three colours.

These are delicate Australian native flowers that have a woolly feel to the petals and foliage. I photographed them at our local Botanic Gardens. I've never tried to grow them myself but I always love the look of them when I see them growing.

All of the files you need to complete the painting are attached below my message here.

There are plenty of progress photos to help. Take your time with it. The painting is not that difficult but some patience is required.

Louise

Permission is not given to paint any of my earlier paintings that are not tutorials because some of them are licensed. Also, a few of my earlier paintings were painted from photographs where I sought the permission of the photographer. The photographer gave me permission to use it, not others.

If I do a tutorial where I use another photographer's photo (eg from Pixabay or Unsplash) that is available for anyone throughout the world to download (copyright free) and use I’m happy for you to sell the paintings you create from the tutorial. I know art supplies are expensive, so it's good to be able to recoup the costs of supplies.

If I do a tutorial and I use a photo that I have paid for and downloaded from the website Wildlife Reference Photos in order for you to sell the painting you create from the tutorial you need to purchase and download the photograph yourself. This is in accordance with the Terms and Services of the Wildlife Reference Photo website.

If you share a finished painting on social media I would really appreciate it if you could link back to my account (be it on Facebook, YouTube or Instagram) and mention that you painted it in one of my tutorials. @louisedemasi

Thank you!

I'm just starting this one. I am really intrigued about your composition, and how you came to make it up from two pics. Do you have any videos where you explain your method?

Caroline

lol. indeed - I am on my second try now. First time I made it too dark, so had to trace the whole thing again. I am taking slowly, as each petal takes an age!!

Louise De Masi

Not at the moment, sorry- I don't Caroline but I hope you enjoy painting them.

Natalie Jukes

Hi Louise. I was wondering if the flowers would better to paint on Arches CP rather than Fabriano Artistico rough paper. I got some of the A3 rough paper for free and I wanted to paint the flowers on a large scale but wasn't sure if rough would be ideal and more suitable for landscapes. Thanks

Louise De Masi

Hi Natalie, This is a fairly tight painting so if you haven't used rough paper before you might be best to stick with the paper you know.

Cyndal Grant

Absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to paint!

Joan Keyser

So beautiful, Louise. I’m going to attempt it tomorrow..note the word “attempt!”

Christine Ellis

Love aFlannel flowers, we had them growing wild on our farm near Inverell when I was growing up. Looking forward to doing this tutorial.

Nettie Moss

Beautiful tutorial - lovely flowers - the texture looks rather like the Edelweiss mountain flower . .

Louise De Masi

I had to look that flower up Nettie and yes it does. Thank you!

Judy Bialek
