YOU can paint these wildflowers! {yes, you!}

| thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich

Hi Friends! Today is the first day of summer vacations for the kids. After we took the dog for a walk I decided to paint some of the wildflowers we saw. You can follow along with any watercolors (even the children’s water paints will work!) and watercolor paper:

I hope you enjoyed this simple watercolor painting tutorial of daisies, buttercups and clover. I think it is important to take a little time to create everyday. Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!

    1. I enjoy all your tutorials. I have done just about ever water color painting since I found your site a couple months ago. You are a great teacher.

  4. Beautiful! I’m not afraid of my watercolors anymore LOL! I try to paint along and my paintings show some resemblance to your finished projects 🙂 so glad you showed that daisy…I wondered how to paint a white flower without white paint. I need to go try this one now.

  9. I didn’t see a place to ask this, I saw a contest, and one of the rules is to use branded cards, what does this mean? Can I just use their paper? Or is that different even if it’s the same weight and size? Thanks in advance Lindsay!

  12. As usual, you’ve nailed it! Bravo.

    The little star on the blumes are called calix and in the Latin it means chalice. First used in 1698, it was more like saucer – probably British. Singular calix – plural Calices. The Calyx is a medical term. I know TMI!!

    I think your walk with the children is so sweet. It’s an easy way to build into their lives and vice versa. I get so tickled when I hear them tumbling around upstairs, and then I listen a little more carefully and wonder who’s bouncing off the walls and doors at my house – it’s only me, the red heeler, and my hubby. Then I have an ‘ah ha’ moment. You are indeed so much fun to watch and listen to. . .

    Thank you Lindsay for all you do.

    FYI, regarding clean house time: we always had house keepers to come and clean on Thurs., and both boys knew they had to pick up and put up. Never mind that we did closet clean up every 4 months, and weekly under the beds – that’s where the boys kept their ‘science’ projects aka snack plates. Always interesting. . . Their bathroom was named the ‘funny farm’ with appropriate folk art.

    Ah, raising one oh so highly intelligent boy and one just highly intelligent but oh so artsy pfartsy.
