What if I told you that just this small rose petal can teach you almost everything you need to know about watercolour? ✨ How the water behaves. ✨ How your paints mix and blend on your palette… and on your paper. ✨ The importance of light and dark. ✨ How to apply wet-on-wet washes, wet-on-dry washes, and dry brush detail. It’s all there. In this small petal. If you want to learn more about watercolour, it’s often not about going bigger - but going smaller. This orange petal is available as a free

I love creating little studies like this crab apple blossom. Tiny, nothing grand or complicated - this was just a quiet hour with my brushes and paints. We don’t always need to sit down and create a big “finished” piece. In fact, most of my favourite paintings start as small studies like this… little pockets of calm squeezed into a busy day. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to get back into painting, let this be your reminder that the small moments matter. So often we think “I don’t hav

I’m enjoying creating so much at the moment: Creating art. Creating tutorials. Creating experiences. Creating a business plan. Creating a home. Creating a partnership. Creating my story. I’m opening up space for all of this to expand infinitely over the coming months, and I can’t wait to share more about this with you all soon ♥️ #botanicalillustration #botanicalartist #botanicalart #watercolor #watercolour | Helen Cousins - Botanical Artist

I remember so clearly when I painted this blossom. I was living in Eton, it was a beautiful spring day and the painting just flowed. I was creating this lovely sheet of blossom illustrations, and it was so very peaceful! 🩷 #botanicalart #botanicalillustration #botanicalpainting #watercolor #watercolour | Helen Cousins - Botanical Artist

I’ve been painting for over 20 years, and teaching for 15, and here’s what I’ve learnt: 1. You don’t need to be “naturally talented” - you need curiosity, patience, and the willingness to make mistakes. Progress > Perfection, always 💫 2. Watercolour isn’t “unforgiving”. And it’s not the hardest medium (IMO!) It’s responsive. When you understand water, timing and layering, everything gets easier, and I promise you, you’ll love it! ♥️ 3. You don’t need fancy supplies to begin… but you do need gui

My little collection of primroses is growing and growing! I’ve loved adding a few of these to my monthly study pages. It’s a blue/purple theme lately, and this is the latest! I just love watching these videos back and seeing the watercolour move across the paper. I love this medium so much 🥹 I have some tutorials that are quite similar to this one, if you’re keen to learn. Just follow the link in my bio to see all my guides - the perfect way to start botanical art, including all my materials, a

First pattern reveal! 🌸 Thank you so much for all your support on the announcement of my stationery launch. This was the first pattern I created with my little purple and blue viola illustrations - this was where it all began! I had to learn all about how to use @adobeuk and @adobecreativecloud to transform these little paintings into patterns! I loved the process and it really got me hooked on surface pattern design and propelled me forward in creating this first stationery collection. You can

The first primrose design 🌸 Eeeeek - a week tomorrow I am supposed to be launching this collection! Although, the products still haven’t arrived… Will they be here in time?! Relying on others is hard. I’ve been so impressed with my printer to date, but this waiting game is not easy! Believing and trusting in the process. Letting it be. Hoping for the best, but knowing that if it doesn’t work out exactly how I hoped, that’s okay, too 💫 T-8 days. Let’s go! The waitlist for the collection is in m

I’m starting to feel a little bit festive now, how about you? I painted this mistletoe last year on a solo retreat. I painted so much that week, and despite it being quite a tumultuous time in my life, I found a lot of peace in the solitude and being in nature 🌲💫 I’m very excited because after a night this weekend with my family in Kent, I am having another little retreat spending a couple of nights recharging in Dorset.
