King Protea Watercolour Painting Tutorial

Watercolour King Protea Tutorial

Paint a stunning King Protea with me in this step-by-step watercolour tutorial. With its dramatic layers of petals in rich pinks, purples and teal, the King Protea is one of the most striking flowers to paint — and I'll guide you through every step to make it achievable and enjoyable.

At the beginning of the tutorial, I introduce the "tea to butter" method — a simple way to think about paint and water consistency that will help you follow along and apply the technique to your own paintings. You'll hear me refer to this throughout my tutorials, so it's a great foundation to have.

What you'll receive

• Full step-by-step Watercolour King Protea video tutorial
• 2 downloadable outline sketches of the King Protea (JPEG)
• Reference image of my finished watercolour painting
• Lifetime access to the tutorial

You can print the outline directly onto watercolour paper, or print it on regular paper and trace it onto your watercolour paper. I demonstrate my tracing method in the video so you can prepare your painting and dive straight in.

This tutorial is suitable for beginners, but it's also a rewarding project for those with some watercolour experience who want to practise layering, wet-on-wet blending, and painting complex floral forms.

Take your time, follow along at your own pace, and enjoy bringing this beautiful bloom to life.
