Hyacinth flowers are such a fun flower to paint! What makes them fun? Tons of details, layers & repetition make for great practice.
They smell great too, but I can't share that with you via YouTube :).
In this easy and detailed watercolor hyacinth tutorial, you'll be proud to say at the end: I did it! I KNOW you can do this, just follow along step by step and pause to catch up as needed. I share all my tips & secrets to guide you along, and in the end, you will be so happy you took the plunge!
Let me know in the comments how this tutorial went for you! I'm so keen to know :).
PS: Don't have the exact colors available? Don't worry! Hyacinths come in endless shades of pink, purple, blue and more... so use what you have! The same technique I teach in this video can be used regardless of what color your are painting your flower.
