I would love to learn to paint bunches of flowers so that the flowers are actually recognizable, which may sound simple, but it doesn’t seem simple at all to me.
So I chose this particular photo to paint from today, with the idea of really working to make the marigolds look like marigolds, and to keep them from clumping into a single blob.
And I do feel like I succeeded (yay!), although I would also like to be able to do it while maintaining the light, loose feel of the watercolor medium.
But you know. One thing at a time. I’m learning, and I’m willing to keep engaging the process.
PS: If you’re interested in hearing a more detailed description of my painting process for each watercolor I do, and if you’d like to see my beginning, middle, and ending photos of the watercolors as they progress, you can join my Patreon page. Subscribers to all tiers, from $3 and up, get to see everything I post there.
Your support helps me pay for supplies, and also encourages and lifts up my heart. You’re the best!
Lovely! You certainly have the wye, and the touch.
Thank you, Susanna. I’m looking forward to trying a new painting medium soon. 🙂
