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

Painting Tulips

Tulip Tumblers

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!

    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!

    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!

    I love tulips too. I also really admire your talent. That stemware is gorgeous.

    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❣️

    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

    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.

    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!

  11. Your work – tulip perfection! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  12. Mary says:
