| & found a poster and liked it's looks. I liked that it looked easy to duplicate. |

| Blank Canvas. Ha. Ha. We used 8 x 10s and 11 x 14's. Step 1) Dry brush/stipple yellow (or color of choice) onto the canvas. Or paint the whole background whatever color you want, or plaid, or stripes....go crazy. I didn't do this step with my example, I did it after I got done with the painting and decided the pre would be better and cut down on any smearing. |
 |
| Step 2: Decide how many big and medium flowers and how many buds you want on your picture. I went with 3 buds, 2 small and 1 large flower. Simply paint an amoeba like blob with 4 rounded bump outs. |
 |
| Continue with the small flowers. The buds can be made by placing your brush perpendicular to the canvas and spinning in a tight circle. |
 |
| Step 3: Stems. With a tiny tipped brush or green sharpie, draw stems. Start at the base of each flower and bud and pull the stems off the canvas, intersecting where you want. Draw them as thin or thick as you want. |
 |
| Step 4: Begin adding leaves. Add them close enough to the flowers that they look natural, and connected to a stem...if you need to add a stem, do so. Add leaves onto white spaces. Fill in half of each leaf with solid green. Leave the other half blank. Leaves can be shaped like and eye or squished oval or rain or tear drop. |
More, tomorrow.
