Back to Succulents Course

by Kari Lynn M.

Let’s learn how to paint a simple succulent—one with bright green “petals” and even a “washed” background!

In this class, you’ll also learn important painting techniques, like how to make multiple variations of green using no green paint tubes at all. You’ll also find out how to make a quick “watercolor wash” background without actually using watercolor paints. And, yep, it’s all possible—trust us.
