Watercolour Style Hydrangeas on Silk
65 days access 9 lessons · 1h 57m 1:1 consultation before / after completion WhatsApp support anytime Supply list Dupont catalogue
Discover how to paint soft, watercolour-style hydrangeas on silk — loose, expressive and full of texture.
You'll learn to use anti-fusant and gutta together to control where colour spreads and where it stays put, giving you the freedom to paint intuitively without losing definition.
The hydrangeas build in layers, gaining depth and texture with each pass of colour.
By the end, you'll be able to…
Apply antifusant to control flow and create a paper-like painting surface on silk Use gutta to define shape without restricting movement Build hydrangeas in layers, creating depth and texture with every pass Fix the silk in a pressure cooker — no fancy equipment Handle and use professional silk dyes correctly Confidently paint seascapes, landscapes and more on silk — creating exclusive wall art in an exciting new medium
Built for students with a strong artistic foundation — not necessarily years of silk painting, but a confident eye for colour, composition and form. You should be comfortable making creative decisions on the fly rather than following a fixed outline, and looking to move beyond controlled, line-bound work into a more expressive, painterly style.

What learners say
"Husna was such a wonderful teacher — she held back nothing and taught us all the nuances of silk painting. Four hours whizzed past, making a thing of joy: a silk scarf painted for ourselves."
"Honestly, I had no hope at the start — I thought it wouldn't come out well. But they said 'trust the process,' and it came out really well! My experience was much beyond my expectations."
"A very good teacher — she's been doing this for over two decades. Silk painting is such a stress-buster. I loved it!"
