Big Flower Time-Lapses
As I write this I have a nearly-1-year-old and a 2.5 year old. Needless to say, my studio painting time is RARE. Which is why it was such a treat to spend 4 days painting recently – a birthday gift to me from my very kind husband.
I painted a peony flower and a clematis flower. Both PINK, both very BIG, and of course, both in watercolour.
Here are time-lapses showing them bloom into life on the paper:
I hope this inspires you to have a go at painting BIG. For tips on that, check out this video.
Happy painting,

Anna,
That was fabulous!
Sono stupendi… Sei una super ARTISTA
Wow Anna! They are beautiful and you make it look so easy.
I hope you have a very happy birthday in spite of teething troubles.
If you haven’t got through all of your Birthday present yet, have lots more fun painting
Best wishes
Sue
Love the scale – such fun!
Happy Birthday from my lock-down…
Anne
thank you .I consider you among the best there is your teachings are so great.
Happiest of Birthdays to you. Thank you also for extending the sale on a 6 month subscription! I hope your day has been very blessed.
Absolutely beautiful! A very Happy Birthday Anna!
Inspirational — You did all of that in four days? Happy Birthday.
Beautifully done!! What a great birthday gift. Days in which you can do something for yourself with little ones is often rare.
Wow, that was cool! I am not sure I could paint things quite that big. The larger they are the more paper there is to cover – not sure this old body of mine would take it from a physical perspective, but it’s fun to see you do it. You do such a great job of keeping your site relevant and interesting Anna! Thank you so much and again, Happy Birthday, you are a big blessing in my life!
Happy Birthday Anna it’s nice that you got four days just for painting flowers are beautiful little ones are cute have lots of fun and happy lick down
What a wonderful & thoughtful husband you have! These paintings are stunning, as always!
Wishing you a very happy birthday!
Thank you Anna for sharing your birthday fun – I don’t think I would have been able to even start painting in watercolor without your teaching and inspiration. Thank you Anna. Think of 40 as liberating!
Very impressive Anna. This is something I would like to try sometime when I have more experience with water colors. How wonderful for you to have that time given to you for a special Birthday. We all appreciate your constant concern and care for our wellbeing and giving us tips to combat the trials that life can throw our way.
A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY and may you and your family keep safe in this terrible lock down in the U>K>.
Dear Anna,
this video helped me a lot. Thank you so much.
What a great birthday present! It gave you time to enjoy four full day’s of painting and the results were beautiful!!
Wonderful Anna. Love your classes. It is my dream to paint big. I see that you also used size 8 and 11 brushes. I can’t find them at Jackson’s art supplies or Rosemarys. Is there an equivalent that I can buy please?
Hope your birthday was a fabulous day & celebrate , this is your birthday month, enjoy it
Many Blessings wished for you & your family ✨Thanks for sharing your beautiful talent & art
Apologies Anna. I found the link for bigger brushes etc on the hollyhock link.
Stunning!!
Beautiful colours & realism
Love these flowers
Belated Happy Birthday! Have a truly Blessed year…. I want to try one of those large projects soon.
[…] I painted another giant flower in the same studio session as the peony, which you can see here. […]
