Painting a pansy
Colours: Lemon yellow, cadmium red (or another bright red), sap green
Sketch the flower. Pansies have 5 petals sometimes they fold over |
Paint on dry paper with red + yellow allowing paint to mix on the paper |
Leave a little white space beweeen the petals but avoid 4 white stripes |
Paint over the curled petal - we will add another darker layer on top |
To finish the flower add a darker red under the folded petal for a shadow. Paint in the centre and some very fine lines on the petals - use a rigger to make them as fine as possible and not too regular |
Now go to the next step to complete the composition
