While watching this, I was reminded of growing up in California where boulgevilla are abundant and how to tell you no, you're not painting the flower. Then you mentioned it lol. The red part are leaves the white flowers are just that the flower not a stamen. I remember as a child learning that and being surprised, the ones we had were more burgandy and there are also purple ones. Also, wisteria are a vine not a tree. They are considered a pest vecause they kill the tree they climb on. Although they are one of my favorites. I usually watch you on TH-cam TV but had to come to me phone to comment, I fell and broke my arm 3 weeks ago and watching these videos are a distraction. I do have your books and brushes. Thank you for all you do and for being willing to learn about things you dont know.
Ah amazing, I had an inkling this was the case as I started to do the detail on the pink leaves
Lived in South Africa and my folks home in Cape Town had a huge bush that shaded their outside space. Living in Canada, I really miss these tropical flowers
Oh wow!
Also I so enjoyed seeing them when visiting Israel from Canada about 6 years ago 🥰
Ah wow!
This is absolutely stunning. I'd love to hang it on my wall. Bougainvillea are one of my favorite plants and very common in California, which is where I'm originally from. Yes, the pink parts are a type of leaf called bracts. 🙂 I also want to mention that I just love that little music in the background of your videos.
Go for it! And thanks for the music comment, it divides people so it's nice to hear a positive comment!
Best slow tutorial for everyone’s level 😊Thanks
Ah thanks Alisha
Where I live in South Carolina, bougainvillea thrive in the summer because of the heat. However, they are still considered as an annual. We have moderate climate in the winters but still cold enough to kill tropical plants. I must compliment you because you have captured the sheer petals beautifully! They remind me of semi transparent crepe paper! Delicate and a joy to have in a hanging basket! Loved this video. I am thinking I need to get your rigger brush! Thanks Harriet, you brighten my days!
Thanks Brenda, isn’t the rigger brush great!
Thank you for this lovely tutorial! I'm going to give it a go. And mark me down as one who loves the background music!
Aah THANK YOU!
Just lovely Harriet! Must try this! 👍
Here in Greece it is a very common flower!!it is stunning and almost everywhere in islands they are enormous there!!I have three of them,(i leave in a village near Thessaloniki).my daughter gave me one like the one of your painting for mother's day!!the little white ones are the flower and all the others leaves(blew my mind when my grandma explained that).some are purple and some white!!! gorgeous flower and a gorgeous painting,thanks for the tutorial👏👏👏
Wow that sounds so lovely
Wonderful tutorial. Bougainvillea can be found absolutely everywhere in Australia and we seem particularly fond of them here in Brisbane, Queensland where they can be found trying to escape large urban street planters, pots and fences in riots of colour all over the place.
How wonderful!
Gorgeous! Really love how it turned out!
Thank you so much!
Again a lovely video Harriet!
It looks fantastic!
Thank you very much!
Thanks Carina!
Reminds me of home (Mexico) and my mother....thank you for the beautiful rendition.
Ah I’m so glad x
Thank you very much for your teaching, it"s really helping with my homework!!
Glad I could help!
Love the bougainvillea! I live in Florida (the States) and we have it all over down here. It grows so easily, some homeowners consider it a nuisance plant! They come in all sorts of reddish, pinkish, purplish colors. I believe, like poinsettias, the color parts are called brachts and the blossoms are actually the little white flowers in the middle. They have a tiny dark pistal and stamen in the middle of them. They are so lovely and you did an excellent job capturing them! 😍
Ah thank you so much for the info Bonnie!
beautiful Harriet Thank you xx
Thanks Amanda!
Bougainvilleas have super thick and dangerous thorns! They are beautiful and cover a lot of space, but you have to be careful when walking around them, ask me how I know! I had two big ones when I lived in Florida, USA. The "flowers" are leaves. Great painting!
oh wow do they?!
Thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial. We lived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for several years as expats and bougainvillea were very popular. We had an enormous one and anytime I see them I am reminded of the beautiful flowers. Although it is a desert country people took advantage of irrigation and had lovely garden spots. Canada's climate is a little too cool to grow these lovelies.
How lovely!
BEAUTIFUL!!! TY
Thanks Diane’
Thank you Harriet! These bougainvillea seem to like the SF Bay Area, more of a mediterranean climate. I've also seen them in Vietnam as well! They come in various colors.
Yes they are!
Thank you so much! Another flower I love!
You are so welcome!
So pretty!
Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful.. !!
Thanks Rina!
Beautiful! I love your demonstration.
Thank you so much!
Great video. Loved the details. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice, beautiful flowers
Thanks for visiting
Stunning. I’ve grown up around Bougainvillaea my whole life. You painted them beautifully!
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Never seen the flower you are painting but it's very lovely 😊 NY thanks for the tutorial 😍
My pleasure 😊
One of my favourite shrubs. And painting perfection once again. 💐
Me too! Thank you so much
Lovely!!! As I saw it a beautiful idea came into my mind. So I will paint it tomorrow :)
Wonderful!
Thank you😊
Thanks for watching!
So nice
Thank you!
Sharing with you :-) On a bougainvillea the brightly colored leaf-type structure are bracts. As in dogwoods and also poinsettias, the bracts protect the central diminutive flower. In sunny California there are also hot pinks, purples, golden and even a rusty chocolate variety. Instead of the massive vine, there is now a more manageable bush-type variety. Only wish that thorns came as an option on this beauty!
Thank you for another great tutorial! ♡
Thanks for sharing! I love how my audience educates me every time!
Also from California, we have several different colors ... light pale pink... so delicate looking and deep reds and magenta!!! They're even some used as a flower dividing the roadways! Thank you for this beautiful painting!!! With love from a California Gramma ❤️
So cool!
RED! I loooooooove red! wooo hoooo ❤❤❤. You rock that rigger great Mrs H
Rock on!
Wow! This is stunning. I’m off to Italy in a few weeks so hoping I’ll be able to paint these beautiful flowers from life 🤞. Have a great day and I look forward to what you bring us next 😁🙏
Oh amazing!
I have a bougainvillea in my yard. I’m from the southwest U.S. This is an excellent rendition! Thank you. 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
So nice of you, I'd love to be able to paint from the real thing!
Beautiful as always....These grow a lot in California especially in the desert areas.
Ah that’s cool!
Hello, I am from Bangladesh and this is very common here. We call it as 'Baganbilash' bagan means garden and bilash means luxury in Bengali as the tree gives a luxurious garden look 😊
Wow that’s so interesting!
Harriet I really enjoyed this. Here in Florida they are everywhere and come in a few colors, pink, red, purple. Very pretty!!! You did a great job painting these. I wish I could send you a photo.
How lovely Mary!
I see I don’t need to make a comment, it’s already said, but I still thoroughly enjoyed your presentation anyway 🥰
Jean I always appreciate a comment as it lets me know you are enjoying my painting!
They are leave, the white in the middle is the flower. It is the same as the poinsettia. Loved the painting though you make it look easy. Been watching for the two years.
Thanks so much Gail!
🥰
Thanks!
So beautiful. I love watching your videos. I always think I might be able to do that. Ha!
Did you mention the paper you’re using?
In the episode notes 🙂
Oh Harriet,what a beautiful flowers you're painted Thank you very much for this tutorial 😊
My pleasure 😊
Stunning love your tutorials. So inspiring thank you. Please advise what watercolour brand do you use?
Hi Petra, I use daler rowney and winsor & newton professional range
I would love to know if those extra things in the flower are actually leaves! I think bougainvillea love sun more than heat. It can get pretty cold where I live in California yet our bougainvillea are quite prolific - sometimes too prolific. I had the three very unruly bushes in our walkway dug up because I didn’t like the thorns that wobbly little toddlers might stumble into. Nearly 10 years later, persistent bougainvillea vines have popped back up to compete with the jasmine bush we had planted in its place. It will be interesting to see which will prevail between the two because the jasmine are popping up all over the place too. I am rooting for the jasmine which have no thorns and smell wonderful!
If you read the comments on this post lots of clever people have educated me about what are leaves and what are flowers!
No idea what this flower is (I live in North Dakota in the states. Very cold winters), but I love this!
Oh wow!
How much is the brushes I can’t tell what the was it says e6 or something
