Paint Soft Snowdrops in Watercolour: A Gentle Cure for February Blues

Описание: Looking at grey skies, and no motivation to paint?
Let’s lift the mood with something soft, simple, and calming.
Just two colours!

In today’s beginner-friendly watercolour tutorial, we’re painting delicate snowdrops — an easy spring flower that’s perfect for practising loose brushwork, soft whites, and natural greens without overworking your paint. This is a slow, cosy paint-with-me session designed to be relaxing, mindful, and completely pressure-free.

You don’t need detailed drawing or advanced techniques. Just simple shapes, gentle layers, and a calm approach to watercolour that helps you build confidence while enjoying the process.

Snowdrops are one of the first signs of early spring, quietly blooming through the cold and bringing a sense of hope during the darker winter months — which makes them the perfect subject if you’re feeling a little stuck or creatively low.

So grab your watercolours, settle into a comfortable space, and let’s paint soft snowdrops in watercolour together — a gentle, soothing cure for the February blues.

TOP TIPS
Use any blue you have combined with a 'warm' yellow (cadmium, ochres, siennas) to create muted greys.
OR
Use any blue with cool yellows (lemon, aureolin, hansa etc.) to create brighter greens with a bit more zing!
