Fearless Friday, Copycat Poppies

A great way to learn painting is by copying  others

 

The watercolor on the left is from Fluidcolors.  I love the way the artist faded the receeding poppies into the shadowy background, and I copied the artist’s style and composition {right}

 

 

Copying is a great way to experiment and try out new techniques, just make sure you always credit the original artist

 

 

I decided to try some more poppies, this time on glass

 

 

I fell in love with this pattern from the Pioneer Woman collection at Walmart, and bought 2 plates

 

 

Bright impressionist poppies and polka dots, I couldn’t wait to paint glasses to go with them

 

 

Experiment on paper first, to practice your strokes, shapes, and color mix

 

 

 

Paint petals and leaves with simple quick strokes

 

 

Once this has dried add the center dots and background polka dots

 

 

A future tablescape coming soon…

Be Fearless!

note: be sure to use a curable paint for glass so your masterpiece will be permanent

These stemless glasses are great for wine or any beverage.  They are reasonably priced and are readily available everywhere
