Painting lavender to relax
If you have lavender growing in your garden, it is ideal to use to look at and see how to paint it. If you don’t, you can work from photographs easily found online – and you can follow my simple step-by-step guide here to help you. All you need for this exercise are scraps of watercolour paper, a brush and one each of purple, blue and green shades.
Lavender Scents

A simple painting of lavender – a joy to work on, but the experience is far greater when the creating process is combined with lavender-scented candles and herbal oils.

Step 1Using a beautiful purple shade, start by painting simple lavender flower shapes.
-
Step 2Leave some sections blurred, with the water merging with the colour.
-
Step 3Next, add some stems moving downwards leaving the flower heads and working towards the bottom of the paper.
-
Step 4Finally, add greenery at the base of your painting if you wish – or keep these lines in a similar lavender colour to create harmony in your results.
