I am sharing a fun practice inspired by many paintings. This is what I learned to do to create more interest and depth. 1) Vary the values, this creates depth. Foreground, middle ground and background 2) Vary the sizes of the leaves/petals/flowers. This feels more realistic as all plants are in various stages of growth and therefore as I notice different lengths, sizes and sometimes shapes. HERE IS THE NEXT LESSON: Lesson #3 - https://youtu.be/6p-RsEaazno Happy painting, dear artist! Debbie What I'm using today and also love: GREAT VALUE Option #6 Dugato Round Brush: https://amzn.to/3Wi6Sun A MUST: Color Wheel: https://amzn.to/43y4fqN SUBSCRIBER SPECIAL - MY PREP WORK - TUTORIAL KITS- INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL I thought it might be fun to offer a worksheet and practice painting available for you in my Etsy shop! You watched me paint it, and I priced it very attractively for you! What fun, right? WHAT'S INCLUDED - * Original painting from tutorial signed dated and tutorial episode name, occasionally a card with envelope. * My pre-recording Winsor Newton Color swatch I created with colors for reference (all handwritten) * Brushstrokes used in the painting are all my behind-the-scenes notes and prep work. Originals are on various papers, depending on what I was teaching, in multiple sizes, and meant for supporting you, although it can be framed as well as a fun piece! Only one is available per tutorial. https://etsy.me/45dPrzl Below are affiliate links to all supplies that I use. I receive a small commission on every purchase (AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU).

My Meeden paper suggestion is 100% cotton, has a really great texture and is finer grade. My Artisto paper recommendation is student grade, handles lots of water, (still good for wet on wet) and is a bit less expensive. 📜Meeden Paper: Worldwide: https://bityl.co/NGgf 10% OFF and FREE SHIPPING USING MY CODE, worldwide: DEBBIE10 📜Artisto Paper: US: https://amzn.to/46U8DBM Canada: https://amzn.to/46NcnVH UK: https://amzn.to/3GEbTGy 🖌️Also, on BRUSHES, my favorite go-to brushes which I’ve used for many years, and I use in many of my tutorials - 🖌️Princeton Velvetouch Round 8: US: https://amzn.to/3Td001Y Canada: https://amzn.to/3NlhFkn UK: https://amzn.to/3RCMlA8 🖌️Princeton Velvetouch Round 6: US: https://amzn.to/3GAn82O Canada: https://amzn.to/48fwwVv UK: https://amzn.to/3Rl1qVB 🖌️Meeden 10pc set: Worldwide: https://bityl.co/KHIQ 10% OFF and FREE SHIPPING USING MY CODE, worldwide: DEBBIE10 🖌️Dugato beginning student grade 10pc set: US: https://amzn.to/3uXECDD Canada: https://amzn.to/480Gvhu UK: https://amzn.to/41rDdkR 🎨📜🖌️✨For additional recommended supplies and books, VISIT MY AMAZON SHOP: US: https://www.amazon.com/shop/debbiewalkerart Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/shop/debbiewalkerart UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/debbiewalkerart Happy Painting, and most of all, Enjoy!
