Flower Garden

Flower Garden

A flower landscape, I love flowers......and wanted to use bright colours.

Since I do not have a lot of supplies I used a small round wooden board I had. I bought student acrylic paint because this is my very first time working with acrylic. I bought paintbrushes from Temu and I had a squirrel hair paintbrush from many years ago I used for water colour painting that I have not done for years. Now that my children have left the nest I wanted to try something new. I used a small round sponge I took from a small tablet container to paint the sky the field of green and the white clouds. The pink flowers was done using a balloon that has a knot at the bottom turned to the inside of the balloon. Dipped it into paint and stamped the flowers on, made a little pink dot with a paint brush. The dots in the Daisy centre was done with a dotting tool.

I adore flowers, any flowers. I often use Pinterest for ideas and inspiration and did an indebt study on drawing flowers first. I have done the sketchbook practice on a cheap piece of paper and messed green paint on it therefore the green stains on the bottom part. I at first felt a bit overwhelmed at starting the process of drawing and painting. I often work with feeling and no specific plan.

Attached is my thumbnails and composition drawing and sketchbook practice

Not what I have planned in the sketchbook....but happy with the outcome. I tend to over detail the flowers and will have to work on working more loosely as I want to paint abstract flowers.....thinks this comes from painting watercolour and I added a lot of detail into my paintings.
