How To Paint Lilacs with Watercolor

What better way to celebrate spring than with this DIY painting of my favorite flower, lilacs. Even beginners can tackle this project. All it takes is a few flower outlines, some scribbling, blotching, splattering and of course having fun. Learn how to paint these easy lilacs with watercolors below with the video art tutorial and I will walk you through this fun art project. 

Lilacs can be a bush or a tree that bloom flowers in the spring. Some are pink, blue, white and purple. You can choose whatever colors you want for this painting. In other words I am not going to give you the precise colors I used because I want you to be creative with your colors.

Painting lilacs can be very easy depending on how detailed you want to get. In this tutorial I show you how to get the impression of lilacs and have fun painting in a very free flowing way.

You can paint this on a card if you wish. I painted this for my grandma and I think this makes the perfect Mother's Day card.

I love Lilacs they are so pretty and smell so good.  Let's paint some lilacs!
