Welcome to the October 2022 lesson. This month we are painting the October birth flower, a marigold. I have selected a darker colored flower to paint as this color can often be tricky to paint. When you first paint this color on it can look faded out but it can also be easy to over paint and end up looking flat. I hope that you gain the confidence to tackle a tricky color like this during the lesson.
| Mindset Tip: Even though you may not be happy with how your first washes look, keep going and be kind to yourself. Let the 3-step method guide you through the sometimes awkward first stages of your painting. |
