Recently we talked about Painting Flowers with Simple Strokes
Today we are going to paint simple flowers
into a beautiful bouquet
It’s been a while since I’ve done any watercolors,
and I just dove right in and painted a few simple stems
I had so much fun,
I decided to do another one for Fearless Friday
using the photo below for inspiration
Start with the flowers,
painting them with several loose strokes,
varying the tones
You really can’t make a mistake,
the flowers are very abstract
You are just placing them in position before you add details
Once the 4 flowers were in place
I began adding darker tones of yellow
Then leaves and stems…
put them anywhere!
Abstract Watercolor Bouquet
The freedom of painting like this was such a joy
and I loved the way it turned out…
BUT
my black fine liner pen was itching to join the fun,
so I decided to try it on the first bouquet to see if I liked it
Which one do you like better?
It’s amazing how much the liner changes the look and feel of the paintings!
I liked the first bouquet without the liner
And I liked the 2nd bouquet better with the liner
Try painting abstract flowers and most importantly,
have fun!
Be Fearless!
I will be joining these fabulous parties and blogs:
