Watercolour painting of Frangipani flowers

There's something so incredibly exotic about frangipanis. Maybe it's because they conjure up images of Hawaii and garlands of tropical flowers. But then there's also how fragile and pure they look, and their incredible scent.

Everyday of my visit to my parents recently I would visit this frangipani tree and breathe in the scent. It was so lovely. I'm really glad I took the time to paint them too.

You can paint these too! I took a number of photos of each step in painting these and the full step by step with detailed instructions is on Patreon and Renee's Studio.

Happy painting!
