A year in blooms! Paint-along project.

Watercolor

In 2024 I released a flower to paint every month to form a bouquet at the end of the year.

They are so fun.

In my videos I share watercolor as my medium but of course it is open to any medium. Watch my introduction video here:




Watercolor / Pen & Watercolor / Pen

Different ways to paint/draw the flowers. I will l show the first version. Try different mediums too, explore, create, mess up and make more. Don't Stop.


Different vase ideas for your bouquet.

I used the templates to also just use pen to sketch them.


KingArt Inkline Pens.

I used the templates to use gouache to paint them on old book pages.

I have used only blues, 'gold' and 'silver' I will show you in the first video to mix colors. Only for the donut I added more. After I painted them I did went back with gold watercolor and add to some of the flames a touch of gold and I love the way it shimmers in the light.


Let's start the 8 days of painting with:


Star of David I love the Star of David that is interlocked with some shadows to make it feel very 3D.

Let me show you how:




Bows and gifts are another favorite object to paint.




Gnomes are so cute too!




Dreidel with a Shin and a Nun




Candles! love this easy technique of painting fun candles.




Donuts! Love all the donuts.




Dove! Love the doodles and decorations.




Menorah. Easy to draw rainbow menorah.




Have fun!
