How To Paint A Watercolour Crocus
Flowers and Foliage Episode 42: How To Paint A Watercolour Crocus
The Dutch Crocus (or Spring Crocus) is another early splash of colour as Winters turns to Spring. I love the different colours and patterns on the crocus petals.

Thank you for your wonderful tutorials. Being new to watercolor I really appreciate that they are produced in real time and not sped up 3-4 times. I also enjoy the variety of camera angles especially the closeups from the side. You are delightful to watch and paint along with. Have a great day or evening to and your camera person.

Oh my, these are exquisitely lovely. I suffer quite badly with anxiety & asthma since birth, my normal resting pulse around 100-110. My husband checks my breathing & oxygen levels a few times a day, & he's gobsmacked that my resting pulse is in the 60s while watching your videos! We are grateful to you for the stress relief, & imaginary medication, Harriet, so thank you! :)

Oh my goodness Frances this is fascinating. I’m so sorry you suffer the rest of the time. I’m so glad to hear my videos offer a bit of respite
Lovely painting of a beautiful flower. I always look forward to seeing Crocus pop up in winter/spring. They always cheer me up on a drab day.

Such a lovely tutorial! I painted along with you, pausing as needed, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My crocuses still need work, but they're so much better than the ones I did before watching your video. Thank you so much!

I've painted two crocus paintings (so far) and am having so much fun. I've learned so much from you the last few months. My paintings aren't great, but they are much better than they would have been in July when I started. All those brush exercises really helped too. Thank you.

Well done Susan!
The Crocus is one of my favourite flowers! I spent a Spring semester studying at Oxford in 1995 (I was almost 40yrs old). And I remember the Crocuses popping their heads up out of the soil in several places 😁 Thank you so much for bringing this memory back to me. You've done a gorgeous job! Now I'm going to try. GOD bless you Dear❣

I just love, love, love your technique. Your flowers look so real, you can almost smell their fragrance!! The most important point however is that you're a leftie ! Now most of your followers are thinking SO? But when you're a lefty (as I am) it's so hard to follow right-handed instructions and get good results. Thank you for your videos, I watch each and every one! Cheers!!
