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 RUclips 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.
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!
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👏👏👏
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
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.
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! 😍
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.
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.
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 ❤️
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.
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.
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!
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! ♡
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 😁🙏
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.
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 😊
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!
You can now buy the exact same brushes that I use in my videos on my website dewintonpaperco.com/shop/
Very beautiful illustrated.Inspires me to attempt painting bougainvillea
One of my favourite shrubs. And painting perfection once again. 💐
Me too! Thank you so much

Ah that’s cool!
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!

Wow that’s so interesting!
Stunning love your tutorials. So inspiring thank you. Please advise what watercolour brand do you use?

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 🙂

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!
🥰
Thanks!
