Show me how to paint flowers – Lesson #3

by Sri Rajes

.

    Place ready made stretched canvas on table.

    Colour the background with thick acrylic paint using a sponge, a little water can be added.
    Use a mixture of a little red and orange. Or use colours preferred.
    Let the background dry.
    Press a little white and silver paint on to a palette or plastic plate.
    Using your index finger mix the white and silver paint each time you create the dots for the flowers.
    Finally you can paint the leaves and stems using your index finger or brush.
    Mix a little green  and yellow for the leaves.
    Be creative.

This is really cute. I love how simple it is. You are right that this is something anyone can do. And I agree that, anyone can be an artist. Everything is from within you. Just use your imagination and of course lots of color! If you can dream – you can paint.

Dear Ruth you are absolutely correct. Great minds think alike.
How I wish more people will start painting, by following my simple instructions. Simplicity is beauty.

I like this tutorial! It’s a seemingly simple process yet it makes beautiful artwork. I definitely will try this when I have some spare time and buy some canvases. I’m not so great with paint, in fact I’ve only painted on a canvas once or twice, and that was just a fun gift for a friend. So I guess I’ll see how this turns out!

Dear art lovers Elaiyaraja,Bjorn,Monique and Mick the simplest way is to buy ready made stretched canvas.Because within an hour or so painting can be completed. Once it is dried you can hang it up. Very very simple. These are all my own discoveries when I started painting.For inspiration visit art galleries or click on into the computer for the type of paintings you like and you will get lots and lots of ideas. Post your paintings to me I will be very glad to admire them. There is no such thing as mistake in a painting.If you make a mistake never mind.A mistake can become something very beautiful.There should not be any rules while you paint. Just go with the flow of your fingers mind body and soul.Have your favourite music on while you are painting. You can also dance while you paint.
And you will be very surprise to see a beautiful painting emerging from your canvas. Because you are the creator.

Simplicity is beautiful. I think sometimes we make things way too complicated when simple would accomplish the same result.

Dear Marilyn
I strongly agree with you, simplicity is beauty. My own sayings Life is beautiful people who make a mess of life. Work is beautiful people who make a mess of work. I love humour, humour is good for life.
