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.

Deep Forest Falls, Pt 1, Oil

8/1/2018

I have had many requests to do a waterfall. So here we go!
This is just a fun little painting that will be fairy easy to do.
It is in 2 parts. The first is a gesso undercoating.
The second part will be adding the color,
Make sure your gesso is completely dry before doing the second part.
This painting was inspired by Bob Ross.

If you have the time, make more than one as a gift for a loved one!
And just for fun, try painting this on a rock. Rocks are free!
Be sure to come back for the second part next month.

Bonus Lesson, Golden Rays of Sunshine, Oil

7/1/2018

Hi Everyone, I had so many requests to do this same painting in the pastel colors, so here it is! Notice the format is portrait instead of landscape this time. It is also a 12x16 instead of 16x20, but any size will work.
Go to my youtube lesson to get the supplies and other information.

This is a fun and easy little painting to do. It was inspired by the Bob Ross book 28, episode #4. Hope you have fun doing it.

How to Paint Floral Foliage

5/1/2018

This video lesson is all about floral foliage, and how to do a few simple leaves!
At the end I will combine the leaves to make a bouquet!
The technique is simple, it just takes a lot of practice. (I am still practicing! :-))
I am using the Bob Ross Floral paints and 1/2" Floral brush.
This is Oil paint, and wet on wet technique.

Practice these leaves and I am positive you will do very well!
Have fun, and enjoy every minute of painting!
Blessings, Yovette

Good afternoon my friends!
Today I have a really fun little painting that everyone seems to love.
It is great if you love acrylic, oil, abstract, or just creating something different!
This first part will consist of the under painting in acrylic, or gesso.
You can use any size canvas you like.
At the end of the video, I have posted photos of the 2 different ones that I did.
The second session will be adding in beautiful colors.

So grab those brushes, a canvas, and start creating your masterpiece!
It will be fun, you will see!
Have a fantastic day, till next time, Yovette
