Love Sunflower ❤️ 🌻

flower Aug 24, 2022
 

I'm continuing with our little sunflower series! This sunflower will be facing the other way and will have the word "love" included. We will be doing a similar turquoise and white background as well as including clear glass on the bottom and some seed beads in my sunflower center. Let's get started!

First, we will grab the tracer, tape it to the canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace the sunflower with a stylus onto the canvas (just the flower for now, we'll do the "love" later)

Next, I am painting my background with turquoise and white paint, just going around my traced sunflower. I'm also painting my edges too. Let dry.

Next, grab your tracer again, tape it to the canvas, place the graphite paper underneath, and trace the word "love" with your stylus.

I'm painting my leaves with Hauser Green. I'm using a #6 round brush.

For my sunflower, I am going to use some different, fun colors! I am using the Marigold color again, plus some Spiced Pumpkin (orange) and...

Faith Sunflower 🌻

flower Aug 17, 2022
 

I've been having some fun sketching out and coloring some new fall designs - and this one is definitely one of my favorites! We are making a sunflower with "faith" as the stem and it is just so cute. We are working with an 8x10 canvas and I'll be adding some clear glass to the bottom and seed beads to the center of my sunflower.

First, we will grab the tracer, tape it to the canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace the sunflower with a stylus onto the canvas (just the flower for now, we'll do the "faith" later)

I'm painting the background with my favorite turquoise color - Desert Turquoise. I'm also mixing in some white paint and just filling in around my sunflower. Let dry. 

Next, grab your tracer again, tape it to the canvas, place the graphite paper underneath, and trace the word "faith" with your stylus.

I'm using a bright green color to paint the leaves. Then, I'm painting the petals with yellow paint - it's called Crocus. 

I'm adding a little bit of...

Yellow Daisy 🌼

flower summer Jun 16, 2022
 

A few years ago, I stenciled several books with flowers, and this is my inspiration for today's project! I created a tracer from this, and I'll be using some spray painted glass from free floral vases. I use my nippers to create curved glass pieces, which are perfect for creating flowers! I'll be using an 8x10 canvas.

I have a painted canvas already ready to go. I used a palette knife to add little bit of green paint and a little bit of yellow paint to the background.

Next, we'll tape our tracer to the canvas. Place graphite paper underneath and use your stylus to trace your flower. 

I'm going to work on my stems and leaves first. I'm using a light green and a dark green paint with a long, skinny round brush. I'm also adding some white paint for highlights and dimension.

Next, I'm using a yellow paint to make the tiny little flower buds. I'm also adding some white paint and some green paint for some more dimension. 

Now, it's time for the flower center, which I am going...

Dandelion Blowing in the Wind

flower spring May 31, 2022
 

My sister (and many of my members!) have been begging me to do a dandelion, so I thought, "let's just go for it!" We are going to be working on a 5x7 canvas with some acrylic paint, a graphic pen, and some bronze, green, and Starfire glass. This is a simple and easy one to do!

We are going to start by painting our background white along with some Mermaid Blue. This will give us a little bit of a sky blue color. Let dry.

Next, grab your tracer and tape it to your canvas. Place your graphite paper underneath and trace your dandelion with your stylus.

Now it's time to paint! I'm using Crocodile Green and Burnt Umber. Take some of your Umber paint and dot it onto your canvas in a circle to create your dandelion center. Add some extra green dots over top. Let dry.

Most of our detail work is going to be done with our Master's Touch graphic pen. I'm going to draw on all of the little seeds, stems, and fluff of the dandelion. Hit that with your heat gun again to make sure that your...

Cute Flower Art

flower spring Mar 27, 2022
 

I'm feeling spring, so today we are making some cute flower art with two 4 x 12 canvases! I'm also doing a little tutorial on how to create glass flower petals and I'm going over my favorite products to use for making those. This is so simple and so pretty. 

First, I'll explain how I created my flower petals. I've had this clear iridescent plate for a long time, and I'm finally going to use it to make some flowers. I just take my glass nippers and slowly go around the plate to create my petals. Then, I use my stone to dull some of those sharp edges.

Let's paint our background. I am doing took different colors - one is going to have blue paint and the other canvas is going to have some purple. Start with a coat of fresh white and then add a tiny dot of your color to spread throughout the canvas. I'm keeping it lighter at the bottom and darker at the top. Let dry.

Now it's time to place your glass onto your canvas. I'm going to do one at a time. Take your glass...
