Howdy friends! I am on the road today and took some lovely flower photos in my sisters garden. What would you like to paint first?
Leave your tutorial choice in the comments below and feel free to paint from any of these pics. I am not sure if they are nice enough for paint my photo but they look good on my new phone. I hope they are useful. I also hope my phone has
spell check lol 🙂 thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
What would I like to paint first? Well, the first thought that comes to mind is “all”, but if I can only pick one to start, I would wish to paint the daylily. I would love to learn a sumi-e technique for daylilies, but also see what you do with a watercolor technique that displays shading.

I adore poppies. I’m ex army and they are a vivid reminder. I also love lilies, my Dad passed away a few years ago and his favourite was bright orange lilies, they don’t last long after blooming, I have many photos of them and flowers in my garden but would love to see a picture on my wall that I have done…people tend to paint the same mixes of matching flowers, I think all flowers match..so…. any chance you could do a min of lilies and poppies so that o could try do one with orange lilies and bright poppies. Thanks for whatever you do

Hi Lindsey, I like the first one because I like the fence behind the flower, it adds depth to the picture. I will be painting this and see how it goes. And please don’t let some of these people get to you because I believe they are not pleased with themselves and this is how they release there feelings by making someone else feel bad too. Your a wonderful person and I enjoy watch all your videos. You do a very good job teaching us.
