The Stretched Canvas "Jolies fleurs" was painted with two adorable gerberas. The beautiful motif, the luminosity of the artist's colours, the pleasant relaxation while painting will certainly inspire you to create further beautiful murals.
Here's how it's done
Using a sponge, firstprime Stretched Canvas completely with white paint.Print out the motif template for painting the gerberas. Transfer the design to Stretched Canvas:. Scale the design template up until you have the right size for your Stretched Canvas and transfer the flowers with yellow carbon paper. Alternatively, you can "draw" the flowers on Stretched Canvas with the line-ex sign pen. The Ink of the pen will become completely invisible after some time.
Paint the petals of the first gerbera with yellow artist-Acrylic paint:. By mixing light and dark Yellow in the still wet paint application with the brush, you get natural shades. The second blossom is painted half with pink paint, half with white paint. Again, work with shades. The stems receive a paint application in different shades of green.
Extra painting tips:
- Always paint the blossoms and stems with the light colours first and paint darker colours on the edges of the motifs.
- Mix your personal colours: lots of light colour, be careful with the dark shades. Always test the shade of sample brush strokes on a pad.
- Use a clean brush for each new colour!
Paint the background in a fresh turquoise. Use a Paint sponge - this gives a great wipe look.
After the paint has dried, apply painting gel to the area of the flower pistilsVBS and sprinkle them with small transparent beads. Dab yellow paint on the outer beads and in the middle - you will get pistils with a 3D effect. The contours of the petals are traced with black paint, use darker paint to add shades! For clear contours and lettering it is recommended to fill black Acrylic paint into a liner bottle. This way it is possible to draw very fine lines.
