Valentine Rose, Background, Oil, Pt 2 of 3

2/5/2019

? To begin the actual Rose painting, first we have to do the background! ?
I have chosen to do this part in acrylic because it's a nice background to paint on.
I am using nice soft colors to blend in with the finished Rose.

I am sure all of you acrylic painters will like this part.
Oil painters will find this easy to do even if you decide to use oil paint.
So have fun, use whatever colors you choose.

Painting With Yovette, Fall Reflections, Oil

11/1/2018

Fall is such a great time of the year!
Wonderful smells in the air, beautiful colors all around!
Great time to do a fall painting.
This is a wet on wet oil, on a 16x20 canvas board panel.
It is complete with distant mountains hills, and a small lake.

Try painting your own fall picture,
and use the colors you love, from the sky down.
Have fun with it, and thank you for watching!

Keep Your Brushes Like New!

10/12/2018

This post is all about keeping your oil painting brushes like new!
The other day I realized that I didn't clean a brush,
and the result was a hard unusable paint brush.
But, I know how to fix that!
Watch this short video and see how easy it is!

See? Not hard at all to clean that unusable brush!
Just be sure to use rubber gloves and a mask if you are sensitive to chemical.
I have used this method for years, and it never fails me.
Thank you for watching!
As always, blessings! Yovette

How to Paint Cluster Flowers. Oil

10/1/2018

Painting cluster flowers can be so much fun!
They are probably one of the easier flowers to paint for a beginner,
and not only that, they come in so many beautiful colors!
This is a 12x16 canvas panel.
I used Bob Ross floral brushes and soft body floral paints.

Try your hand at these flowers using my easy follow along method of teaching.
