Hydrangea Painting .........



                                   Hi everyone! So happy you stopped by.
                                         
                                      My grand daughter and I have been so
                                         busy this summer that I forget to
                                           share our projects with you.........

                     
                            I always keep $store canvas on hand in my studio
                                  just in case the urge to paint arises.


                                          You know how much I love Hydrangeas......
                     




                                              So the inspiration for these paintings
                                               came from my love of Hyrangeas.


                                              Miss A. first painted this beautiful vase
                                                   and filled it with hydrangeas.








                                      
                                        Then we decided to take it one step further
                                                and copy the flower from my urn.











                                        First we painted a background of many colours
                                               then started with a dark blue paint and
                                              with brush strokes in a circular motion
                                                   started painting the flower...........

                                           adding white, pink, soft purple to the petals...
                                                         with love you could see before our
                                                           eyes the flower taking shape.

                                                      Then with the end of our paint brushes we
                                        dabbed some yellow mixed with green to the centre of the
                                                                 flowers.


                                      Next came the stem, then the leaves ........













                                                             I added a few extra flowers to mine......

                                              Have fun with your paintings.......





                  Did I ever mention to you that all my painting supplies are from the $store.

                                               You don't have to spend a fortune
                                      on paint and brushes to show your creativity.

                                         
                                             Try your hand at painting .....
                                                    

                                      Leave a comment so that I know you stopped by!
                                                     Love hearing from you.

                                                             Linda
