Even the sight of this floral craft, cheers me up! How about trying to create it ourselves?
With what else? Americana Premium acrylic paints by DecoArt of course! Thanks to their unique composition, they are ideal for anyone: from the hobbyist to the artist! They work equally well on canvas but also on almost any surface, which means we can use them in many DIY projects as well! The colors are intense and blend perfectly creating a large palette of shades. Finally, you can mix them with any medium: check out all those possibilities!
So, let's start with...
...the bigger flowers fist and a flat brush.
After you're done with the larger flowers, draw a few flower buds.
Then, you have to draw the stems. These should be thicker at the base and thinner at the edges.
I prefer to leave some stems without any flowers, so as to can add leaves. I paint the leaves with a round 6 brush.
I also used white color to emphasize even more the center of the flowers and the buds as well.
You can leave it as in the picture, i.e. on a white background, but you can also add a blue sky using watercolors...
I hope you enjoyed this short tutorial and be inspired to grab your palettes and brushes and go! The weather is so nice, so make a cup of coffee, gather all your ingredients, sit comfortably on your balcony, and create outdoors!
So, until next time,
Artistic kisses
