Day 9: Watercolor Folk Art Tulip | Step-by-Step Beginner Tutorial

In this watercolor tutorial, we’re painting a folk art-inspired tulip using a direct-to-paint method — no pencil sketch first. It’s a simple, stylized approach with clean shapes, a limited color palette, and a fun pen-and-paint finish using the line and wash technique. This project is great if you’re exploring watercolor florals or want to try painting more intuitively without relying on outlines. At the end, we’ll add in some pen work to tie it all together with that charming folk art feel.
