Fearless Friday, Breezy Tulips
I adore tulips,
my favorite thing about them is how they continue
to grow after cutting
and they love to move around in the vase,
changing direction according to the light
I love to draw and paint them too…
“Reflections, Tulips on the Window Sill” 22″ x 28″ acrylic on canvas
“Tulips” 9″ x 12″ colored pencil on mixed media paper
Make a collage of photos of the subject you want to paint
for reference and inspiration if you don’t have the real thing
These photos are from Pixabay and Pinterest
Today let’s try to capture the magic of dancing tulips
with watercolor
I used a #12 round brush with a tapered tip
A final touch with my magic wand, a .01 fine liner pen
“Breezy Tulips” 5″ x 6″ watercolor and ink on mixed media paper
Paint some tulips and
Be Fearless!

I too love tulips! Your artwork is excellent, Jenna.
Thank you Angie 🌷
Tulips make us happy! Mine are starting to bloom, and it’s about time!
Thank you Dorothy, enjoy your tulips!
I also love tulips and your breezy tulips are perfect! I sound like a broken record, but your talents are amazing! Happy Friday, Jenna🌷🌷🌷
Thank you so much Pam 🌷
Good morning, Jenna! I agree with Pam…you are so talented! I am always amazed at your beautiful creations. I adore tulips, too, and you have captured them wonderfully. Happy Friday, sweet friend!
Thank you Shannon, Happy Weekend!
I love tulips as well. Back in Pennsylvania my neighbor sent me pictures of a few blooming in our yard. My Mom planted them many moons ago and they are still blooming!
I always enjoy seeing your talents. Thank you! Happy Friday!
Well you. might not have tulips in AZ, you’ve got those fabulous blooming cacti! 🌵
I love tulips too. I also really admire your talent. That stemware is gorgeous.
Thank you so much Pattie 🌷
I wish you had been my teacher when I was young. You make everything seem so easy but in reality it is that you have so much talent❣️
Thank you Karen, so nice of you!
Oh, gosh you make it look so easy! And I know it takes much more talent than I possess. My pillows just came out that I got from your Society 6 Shop, and I think of you each time I put them out in the spring
Thank you so much! Your comment came up anonymous, I would love to know your name?
I almost didn’t read the post because of the “breezy.” We have lots of wind in OK. 😱 I’m glad I did as your tutorial is amazing.
Thank you Linda, I know your weather has been especially challenging lately, I hope it settles down…
Love your breezy tulips Jenna and such pretty colors you chose for them! I love the step by step too and seeing how whatever you are painting ends up. The stemware is gorgeous and it must be so fun so sip something from them. I’ll have to go back for a peek at that post to see how you did it. Happy Monday to you!
Thank you Kim! Tulips are actually quite easy and fun to paint, just a few strokes and they are done!
Your work – tulip perfection! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
aww, thanks Mary, I love to paint tulips 🌷❤️🌷
So many pretty painted tulips Jenna! I simply adore your MCK tulipere! ♥
Thank you Mary, it was a splurge but I love it too 🌷
I love the freedom of your work and your instructions are always so good. That larger painting near the top — wow!
Thank you Jeanie! Do you ever paint tulips, I think they are such fun to paint 🌷🌷🌷
