3 Easy Watercolor Flowers Using the Stippling Technique (Poppy, Lavender & Hydrangea)

In this watercolor tutorial, I’m showing you how to use *stippling* to create three beautiful floral paintings: a poppy, lavender, and a hydrangea. Stippling is an easy, relaxing way to add texture and depth—perfect for beginners or anyone looking to explore a fun technique in watercolor. We’ll start by practicing the dotting technique using small and large round brushes, and then I’ll walk you through painting each flower step-by-step. ✦ POPPY — loose petals with a stippled center + fuzzy stem ✦ LAVENDER — fully stippled petals using brush stamping ✦ HYDRANGEA — layered soft dots over a dreamy circular wash You’ll learn: • How to stipple with different brushes • When to layer & blend your dots • How to use stippling to add highlights, shadows & fuzzy textures • How to keep your flowers simple, soft & expressive This is perfect if you want to slow down, loosen up, and try a different kind of watercolor texture.
