Bring a touch of warmth, joy, and expressive energy to your watercolor paintings!
Sunflowers in Watercolour will help you paint with more freedom and confidence through playful techniques and easy-to-follow projects.
Learn to let watercolour make some of the magic for you while you create the buttery petals on these generous blooms.
If you’ve dabbled a little in watercolour and want to loosen up, explore new techniques, and bring more joy to your painting, this course is for you!
See sunflowers - and your own creativity - in a whole new light.
Got some drawing supplies (or kids crayons!) that you seldom use - this is a chance to play with them.
(Supplies are only suggestions - use what you have!)
We’ll find the important big shapes in our subject that will set you up for painting success AND give your brain a pleasing workout.
Let’s take our cue from the radiant faces and bold personalities of these joyful flowers.
We'll ditch the timid brushstrokes and try painting big bold blooms with and without a pencil sketch. Learn to let the watercolour work its own magic in suggesting an entire field of sunflowers.
Paint with abandon and discover the pure joy of creating something beautiful and expressive - even if you only have 30 minutes!
We'll paint together, step by step to create two different paintings. Aside from the video you'll also have the line drawings and references so that you are guided all the way.
But there is no need to stop there!
Armed with these new techniques AND a library of carefully selected reference images, you'll be itching to create a whole series of your own sunflower paintings.
Creating beautiful, expressive sunflowers is a very achievable joy!
This course takes you step-by-step, starting with a fun sketchbook project that helps you find the big shapes that you will need when we start painting AND gives your brain a pleasing workout! Then we move on to real-time lessons for both quick (under 30 minutes) and more detailed (over 30 minutes) paintings.
You'll paint loose, expressive sunflowers with ease and confidence, and with a curated image library included, you can create your own beautiful series of these gorgeous flowers!

I always recommend that you use what you already have. There is no need to use exactly the same supplies or colours as I am using.
I always include details of exactly what I use in each lesson but the broad basics include:
If you purchase the Standalone Edition of Sunflowers in Watercolour you will have instant and ongoing access to the materials.
If you purchase the membership you will have instant access to not only the Sunflowers in Watercolour class but also to the entire growing library of Happy Painters Hub courses. Your access to all of these courses will continue for as long as you choose to pay your low monthly membership subscription.
Enrolment in the membership is by invitation only (and occasionally opens a few times in the year).
If you subscribe to the membership, you will automatically be charged on a monthly basis. The membership fee is very low at the moment because the Hub is still quite new. Over time, more and more content will be added so it is likely that the fee will increase in future enrolment periods.
However, when the subscription fee increases, existing members will continue to pay the low fee they originally signed up for.
That means you never have to worry about the subscription fee increasing for as long as you are a continuing member.
Don’t worry - that doesn’t mean you are stuck with me forever, cancelling or changing your billing details is easy. You can do it all yourself!
Just click on Your Account from your student dashboard and you can easily edit your credit card details or cancel your subscription with a couple of clicks.
