How To Paint A Watercolour Daffodil
Flowers and Foliage Episode 46: How To Paint A Watercolour Daffodil
I can't believe this is the first Daffodil I've painted as a watercolour tutor. They are so beloved and I really hope you enjoy my take on a Cyclamineus Daffodil. (yellow petals and orange trumpet)

You are the best and most thorough watercolor teacher on the web. I've had it on my bucket list to get to be a somewhat adequate painter of watercolor flowers, and this year+ of quarantine, and being in the house seems the time. This one is the second of yours I've watched. Thank you for being so thorough! And your personality and lovely voice and accent just make it all more enjoyable. Thank you!

I am SOOO very glad I searched here on KZfaq for help in drawing/ painting daffodils in watercolor!! Your tutorial here is what I SOOO desperately needed, Harriet. I took two pages of notes. Tomorrow, when I get home from tests and Dr appt, I am going to draw and paint daffodils. I will need a good relaxing time after the hours at the hospital. Thank you so very much for this, Harriet.

I remember violets from my childhood. We'd pick them as a neighborhood woman, Sally, took a bunch of us on a walk. There were purple ones, white ones, and mixed up purple-white ones. 😊

Thank you for this tutorial. I've just finished mine and quite happy with it. I've framed it to give my mum on Mother's Day. When I was little my Dad would take my brothers and I to buy daffodils for her on Mother's Day then we'd go home to make her breakfast in bed. (back when one bunch was 10 pence!). I live overseas and haven't seen her for a few years so I hope this brings back some memories for her and makes her smile.

I learned how do layering with this video. I learned how draw daffodils and paint the trumpet. Also I learned how to blend the greens for the stems of the flowers. I felt like I took a good class. It's the second time I watched it. I will watch again as I paint the flowers. It's so nice to just stop n start and keep doing as you are. Hoping mine are half as lovely as yours. Thank you Harriet so much for the time and effort you put into your tutorials. Who is the person behind the camera? Good job to whomever.
