White Textured Flower 🤍
Ever wanted to create a gorgeous flower painting but worried it might be too hard? This tutorial is for you! I'll walk you through creating a stunning white flower with amazing texture using just paint. Then, we'll take it a step further and add some sparkle with glass and resin for a fun beginner-friendly project!
We are working with a 5x7 canvas. Start by painting your background and canvas sides with Metallic Antique Gold with a sponge brush, which helps lay those metallics out better. Once you have your color on, pull the paint in one direction to lay the metallics flat. Dry with a heat tool, add a second coat, and dry again.
Next, I'll take Metallic Silver Sterling paint and apply it to my background with a palette knife. I want this to have a distressed look, so I will lightly pull the paint down in one direction. I'll do the same to my canvas sides. Dry with a heat tool.
Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace your flower with a stylus.
I am using thick Masters Touch white acrylic paint to create my textured flower. Using the back of a palette knife, loosely create your flower petals. Make sure to cover up your tracer lines.
Next, I'll add some thick silver paint to my petals using my palette knife again. I'll use thick Antique Gold for my flower center and Pearlized Dark Green to paint on my leaves with my palette knife again. Let dry.
Once your flower is dry, use your finger to apply Rub’n Buff Metallic Wax to the high points of your textured flower and leaves.
Then, I'll use a liner brush to paint my stem with Avocado Green and a little bit of white paint for highlights. Dry with a heat tool. Next, I'll use a black Posca Pen to add detail lines and outline my stem, leaves, and petals.
Now let's add our glass and resin! I'm going to add Starfire glass to the bottom of my canvas.
We're going to elevate our canvas using blocks. Mix 10ml total of ArtResin (just under 1/2 oz) and stir gently for three minutes. Pour the resin onto your glass and spread it onto your canvas using your gloved fingers or brush.
Use a heat gun to pop your bubbles. Keep your heat moving at all times! Finally, I'll add Bead Treasures Seed Beads Buttercream coated to my flower center.
