I am creating a beautiful flower bouquet on a black background canvas. I am showing you how I painted this from start to finish as well as adding all of the glass goodies to make those flowers really pop. This one is super fun to make, and would make the perfect Mother's Day gift for the mom in your life!

I am using an 8x10 canvas and starting off by painting the background and sides of the canvas with black paint. Let dry or dry with a heat gun.

I am just going to freehand the base of my bouquet. I am going to paint green flower stems - just adding natural strokes going straight up and out. 

Next, I am painting my leaves on the canvas. Saturate the brush with green paint, pushing the brush down and lifting it up to create leaf shapes. I'm going to fill in most of the bottom of the bouquet and add some white paint for highlighting. Let dry or dry with a heat gun.

I'm going to grab my graphic pen and define some of these leaves before we move on. I'm just adding some detail...
