Paint Flowers With Acrylic Paints

You will learn paint flowers with acrylic paints.


Instructions


1. Set up your easel, place canvas on your easel and get your paints and paint-brushes out and ready to go.


2. Choose a smaller brush and dip it in a subdued yellow paint and apply it to the canvas in a circular shape (size will depend on intended flower size). Choose a few other brown and yellow colors to give the flower of the center depth and apply them as you see fit.


3. Now choose the base color of your flower petals and create each petal one by one (be sure to start smaller because you can always add size, but you can't take it away).


4. Fill in your flower petals with other colors as desired to add realism.


5. Create your stems and leaves by using an olive green paint as a base and working in other greens, browns and yellows for depth and texture.


6. If you choose to paint them inside of a vase create the leaves and stems after. You will use the same painting techniques (layering colors) to create the vase to your desires and standards.


7. Allow to dry and frame if desired and then clean the brushes with the acrylic paint remover.
