Why Color Layering Matters:
In floral painting, it’s not just the shape of the bloom—it’s the life in the color. Layering gives your flowers movement, dimension, and expression.
Start with Loose Sketches:
Sketch lightly with a thin brush and thinned oil paint. Focus more on shape and light source than detail.
Work in Color Families:
Pick a family of related colors for a more cohesive palette. For instance, for a sunset rose, work from coral to crimson to peach.
Add Energy with Bold Strokes:
Use expressive strokes, especially when laying your mid and top layers. Don’t be afraid to let colors overlap.
Highlight with Intention:
Bright yellows or whites should be used sparingly—just enough to guide the eye.
Color Suggestion: Use warm tones for happy energy (like spring daisies), cooler tones for calm (lavender, bluebells).
