INTRODUCTION

Investigate the best use of rich color to enhance your floral paintings. Explore artistic options for composition, color and design. Get loose and creative within good design boundaries.

GETTING STARTED

Find out the essential painting supplies you'll need to get started.

MIXING CLEAN, BRIGHT COLOR EVERY TIME

The first step to mixing gorgeous color is to understand the properties of your paints. Learn the characteristics of color, then make charts to explore different color combinations. Discover how to mix grays, greens and earth tones that glow. Practice layering color by glazing and working with a limited palette.

DEVELOPING A GREAT COMPOSITION

Pull an attractive composition together using value sketches, color studies, and contour line drawing. Dramatize your work by selecting the best light for your subject. Evaluate reference photos and determine how they can be improved upon for painting. Learn how to interpret your research and exploit color for the best results.

EXERCIES TO IMPROVE YOUR ART

Explore negative painting, try to paint the background first, unite your design by making color connections, and loosen up by painting without a plan. These exercises and more will stretch your skills as an artist.

PAINTING FLOWERS STEP BY STEP

Six demonstrations present different floral subjects in a variety of situations. Each painting focuses on a specific challenge: using light and shadow; saving the background for last; creating a vignette; working on hot-pressed paper; handling the elements of a still life, including lace and crystal; and making silk or dried flowers look real and vibrant in your painting.
