Common Poppy
I love this poppy.
In fact, I love it so much that I used it on some holiday cards this year!
The way to start on these beauties is to start with the very middle with four rounded petals.
Then, build outward with brush strokes going the same way.

Beautiful, delicate, and not here for long, these blossoms are one of a kind.
Since these flowers are so delicate, I worked with my smallest brushes!
Very delicate and just starting for the season.

Even the background will look different from each rendition I do.
Starting with a more straightforward flower jot down, the better.
Play with the shades of flowers if you want a different look.
Learning the spatial awareness of a field of flowers is the first trick to successfully completing this project.
Lavender
This lavender has made its way into multiple frames for gifts and one of my kids wall decor.
Blue Poppies
My moms favoriteblue poppies are so fun to make and easily scaleable to what you want.
Make one or many using this technique: dip the entirety of your paintbrush into your white paint.
Then dip half of the same paintbrush tip into the blue color.

Red Salvias
Climbing plants and flowers is so fun to draw.
I even make a full patterned page out of them with different colored blooms.
I could definitely see a great-looking birthday card or even wrapping paper made of this design!
A funky off beaten path flower is just as cool as a classically beautiful one.
Blue Hydrangea
These hydrangeas also look more complex and interesting the more abstract they are!
Layering the blue here, too, really changes the hydrangeas look.
Sometimes, Ill even take a fine-tipped marker, like the one mentioned above, to accent everything.
Clematis
Beautiful, simple, and so easy to fill a page up with Clematiss petals.

Rose
Roses genuinely are beautiful on and off the page, arent they?
Take your time blending your shades together to really get the glow on your bloom.
Iris
Like the roses, these irises are delicate and complex.
You dont need to do any mixing prep work to create them on the page.
The dipping technique may come in handy to do the inner parts of these flowers.
For the leaves, do the base of the structure with a lighter shade of green or yellow.
Continue on to layer to create depth in the foliage.
California Poppies
California poppies are so fun and vibrant.
Layering color in the individual flowers will help make the butterfly weed pop off the page.
I like to paint this into a scene that Im working onone of the easier to implement.
Pink Flowers About to Blossom
Again, I love a pre-bloom, and these pastel beauties are no different!
Paint them in a bundle or stand-alone flowers, or add another element to add depth to the image.
Start in the middle and work your way outward.
I also love starting with an oversized one and decreasing in size as I work my way outward.

Sunflower
Sunflowers are a flower I feel like everyone lovesbright, happy, and a little goofy.
People cant help but react to them.
For the painting, mix the colors youll need for the petals prior to starting.
Start with the middle part of the floweryoull return to it to add the seeded layer part.
Move to the petals after finishing the initial layer of the flower.
I love the look of a full page of theseafter taking this picture.
I like to keep the tulips pretty minimal in design.
With two or three blooms at a time and with a singular color for the petals.
Anemone
Another perspective of an anemone brings another way to showcase its beauty.
Return to the middle once dry to layer the following details that sit atop of the flower.
