The Tulip is open:
In the spirit of the tulip itself, we'll paint a hybrid - we'll use the form of the tulip as below and be inspired by the fantastically wildly variegated snazzy petals below below, so you are free to colour the petals as you wish. I particularly like the coral coloured tulip (still thinking about being inclusive and wanting to paint flowers of all colours in this summer series of classes). There's even a black and white version of this tulip below. There are some botanical illustrations too for inspiration, as the techniques and feelings are close to Mughal miniature paintings. Enjoy!
These are all so incredible! I will have to redact my previous comment about botanical illustration - of course I meant the contemporary interpretation, not these masterpieces!
