Fearless Friday, Funky Flowers with Acrylic & Paint Pens
Let’s have some fun today with funky flowers!
I am working on a series of 8″ x 10″ acrylic floral paintings
I have made several collages to refer to for inspiration
“Whimsy,” the painting pictured below
is the first one I painted in the series,
and shared the steps last year here
I painted today’s Funky Flowers using
a photo {below} from the collage
I started by painting the backgound
The table was painted with a brush loaded with brown and yellow
so the paint would be a streaky mix when applied to suggest wood
Simple flower shapes
Then the vase
Adding petals, leaves, details with simple strokes
I used a paint pen for the background dots
and the black dots in the red flower’s center
Then I decided it still needed a little something
so I added a few more simple lines with paint pens
to highlight the shapes and wood
I got a set of 12 assorted color acrylic paint pens
from Amazon here
“Funky Flowers” 8″ x 10″ acrylic on canvas
Have fun with shapes and colors~

Lately some comments are posting anonymous instead of with your name even though you’ve commented before~ This is happening to me too when I am visiting some blogs. I have found that if I use a different browser, like Chrome, it doesn’t happen. I apologize, and I’ve talked to WordPress about this and all they said was that you have to fill out the form that pops up and fill in your name and email. I know this can be a pain, so if you’re comments are posting anonymously just add your name to the end of your comment~ I’d love to know who I’m chatting with! Thank you so much!

Loving your funky flowers. I wish it was easier to paint backgrounds with watercolor!
I know, I struggle with watercolor backgrounds too…have you ever tried painting with acrylic? It’s a different world!
