Picking flowers in art

 

There are litterary millions of nice flower art. I have picked the ones I like and would buy for myself or my friends.

I will display oil paintings, acryl paintings, water colours and poster prints. Also will I show some other Flower-art that I really like. I hope you enjoy picking flowers with me in my lens-garden here.

Here are also lessons how to paint flowers. Some of us would really like to try. Oil and Acryl are similar but the oil dries slower. Water colour takes another tecnique. You paint from in and out so to say.

Paint so you can get started! 

All you need

The colour splash I have used to paint on baskets and wood. It dries quickly and if you need to make it softer you can use hand dish liquid!

The Oil and Acryl paints can be used on the canvas here.

The brushes are in different sizes. If you need an even smaller one - cut of some hair from one. I often also use cotton buds...take away colours and make edges smother.

Lessons how to paint. They are so skilled and make it look so easy. Oil, chinese brushes and water colour. 

Why dont you go for it - give it a try you too!

Look how he is turning the brush! Look how they create shaddows. Look what he uses for a palett. The spray casso is extraordinary!

Water colour paint 

For a beginner

Remember that you can also buy the tubes one by one. The paper you use is especially prepared for aquarell - or water colours. It has to be wet where you are going to paint.

There are water colour pens that give you a chance to draw the "ordinary" way and then use a brush with water to fill the fields. If you need more colour you can use the pen again.

I took a botanical watercoloring course not too long ago. Watercoloring is so much more difficult than I remember it from Kindergarten. It's very relaxing though. I think I'll try acrylics...
