Pink Wildflower

Learn how to paint a vibrant Pink Wildflower on a pastel blue, yellow, and pink background using watercolors and/or acrylics in this video painting lesson.

This is a wonderful painting lesson for beginners who paint using either watercolors or acrylics.

 

If you are looking for a lovely beginner painting lesson then this class is perfect for you. Louise will walk you step-by-step through the entire process of painting a pretty pink wildflower.

This is a great lesson for more advanced acrylic painters who have never used watercolor techniques with acrylic paints too.

During this course, Louise will show you how to use your choice of watercolors or acrylics to paint this flower and background. She'll paint a few petals using watercolors and a few using acrylics to show you that no matter which paints you use, you can achieve the exact same look.

When you look at the petals in the picture above, can you tell which petals are painted using watercolors and which are painted using acrylics? They look pretty identical.

In this video lesson you will learn how to:

• use a line drawing (provided) as a guide
• trace that line drawing onto your watercolor paper
• blend three primary paint colors to create all the colors you need for this painting
• paint a pastel-colored background
• use table salt to create white speckles on your background
• create simple leaves and tendrils
• paint petals

When you have finished this class you will have a beautiful painting to hang on your wall, to give as a gift, or to sell.

What can I expect in this video lesson?

Louise's calm teaching style will allow you to relax and enjoy your painting journey. She has painted thousands of flowers in her 50+ year career and in this lesson she'll give you detailed explanations of each step of the painting process.

Louise paints at a pace that is easy to follow so you can paint right along with her. She'll show you how to paint every detail of this painting including every petal, leaf, and tendril. You can start and stop the video as often as needed, rewinding, and fast-forwarding as needed.
