This week we go large! We are returning to the Nasturtium and painting the flower, from the underneath and x3 in size, together with a leaf. In this tutorial I take you methodicall y through the stages. I will cover two approaches to the petal painting, our usual wet-in-wet and wet-on-dry layering, and a new way of adding a blending medium. I cover the stem pattern and use my eradicator (remember not all eradicators are like mine) to create texture and retrieve light and detail. I also demonstrate one way to achieve a fine veining pattern. It's a big fiery project. Happy painting! Peace, love and sunshineBilly Show more
