Paint Flowers

Use the #4 round brush and the “pink color” to paint tulips on the right side of the basket. Use “primary yellow” mixed with “titanium white” for the yellow color on the left side.

Start by painting an oval for the center-back part of the tulip.

Then load your brush in titanium white and the pink color. Paint two teardrop shaped petals on each side of that “middle back oval”. These petals will overlap to create the front part of the tulip.

Repeat that technique for the yellow tulips on the left.

Then use the “light olive green” mixed with yellow and white to paint stems. The tulip stems “flute outwards” at the bottom of the flowers. Then paint long, narrow and pointed leaves that bend different directions. You can decide if your leaves and/or flowers either overlap or go behind the basket handle.

Paint another type of flower. These ones are more of a lupine/ hyacinth type. Paint green stem with simple rounded leaves. Then use the end of the round brush to “stipple” little dots of primary red and white to create a column of little blooms. I did two of these flowers.
