How do you paint white roses and pale hydrangeas against a white dress? Boost the saturation in the photo to see the subtle variations. Then paint the first layer in tints of various colors. Next step: refine the flowers. Thanks to @laurapatrickphotography for challenging my art skills with her wedding bouquet photos. . . ... . . . . #artoberflowers2020 #bridalbouquetpainting #whiteflowers #flowerpainting #whiteroses #custompainting #preservedflower See more

Turned my painting sideways today to get the shapes of the trees and reposition the clouds. Does anyone else do that? I have also found that I repeat the same move movements with my brush so hoping this will create a little more variety in brushwork. I’m enjoying the colors of this commissioned piece. I love the blues and turquoise.

Been starting so many paintings but they all still need a few tweaks. Even as I post this (which I thought was finished) I see one small area that needs to be fixed. Can you find it? This is one of the multiple small paintings that I am working on for the @bucksarts Wish You Were Here exhibit. I had a perfect day a few weeks ago at Lake Towhee and Lake Nocamixon and have more photos to work from. Stay tuned.

Lots of minis getting pastel under paintings. And quick glances of Lake Towhee, Lake Nockimixon and a few bridal bouquets all in different stages. . . . . ... . #wip #ontheeasel #paintingupastorm #minipaintings #smallworksonpaper #underpainting #sherbetcolors #palettes #lovemyjob #inthestudio See more

Finished and heading to the happy couple. What a great idea Laura Patrick Photography to give these special paintings to your clients. Thanks too for encouraging my art making. I love the soft whites and blues of this little bouquet. If you are interested in a custom floral painting for yourself or a friend Send me a message and let’s discuss.
