An amazing carnation

Looks too easy, doesn't it? That's because he is a brilliant artist, that's why! Watch Miguel Rincon create this carnation, and its leaves upside down with seemingly no effort at all.

My flowers

So I watched her do it on You Tube, and I tried my hand at it, and it wasn't so bad, I thought:


















Then, I tried my hand at those shell-like stroke Dewbery talks about, and because it was white-edge on white, it was barely visible. Note to self: don't do this again! Please.

















And always, with leftover paint, I must fiddle with an iris - and I am making progress.
Note to self: See? I can actually do that petal-flip like I seem them do!

























And finally, with Luz Angela on stop/start on You Tube, I do a rose that actually looks like a rose to me! I thought it would be tragic, as usual, so I took out my ugliest paint - green - and thought, 'what the hell, let's give it a go'. Again. And, I was quite pleased with my result.

Had to meddle with the edges; had to add highlights; and it is messy - but, they look like roses. And they don't look like factory-processed ones, either. So, I am happy :)

Carnations

Nuria Sanchez makes painting carnations tres simplement! Using the 'multicharged' method she just paints these beautiful flowers, seemingly without effort. And they are simply fantastica!
