Prepping your Piece
Some participants like to prep their piece prior to class! I highly recommend doing this as it will allow you the achieve a better composition in the end. No need to match my design perfectly, feel free to add your own flair! I will be showing these same steps live in class as well :)
step 1: Materials
Gather your canvas, a pencil, fluorescent pink acrylic paint and a paint brush.
*If you don’t have fluorescent pink, use yellow or any other warm BRIGHT or fluorescent color!
step 2: Sketch
Using your pencil, sketch out three groovy daisies. I first sketched the bottom daisy on the left since it’s in the foreground. I then sketched the second daisy in the center of the composition (make sure the petals are behind the petals of daisy on the bottom front).
step 3: Paint
Using the fluorescent pink acrylic paint, paint one coat of fluorescent pink over your sketch to create a nice warm base for your painting. The goal is to still be able to see your sketch through the translucent paint.
And voila !
You’re ready to get started!
