Welcome to MY Painting Adventures, I'm very excited to start this new "adventure". Not only because it will open me up to a new world of painting, while having cute wall decorations and relieving stress, but more so for the quality time with family and friends.

Dandelions

7 of us, started out to recreate this dandelion canvas, on our own choice of background. 1 didnt make it til the end because of parenting duties, and 1 left before we could photograph.
I opted for the cheaper small bottle acrylics so the one problem we faced was getting our stems to show well on the dark backgrounds. A second coating seemed to do the trick. The red painting was done entirely with a sponge brush by my aunts husband. The blue one belongs to myself, the orange my husband, dark purple my aunt, and light purple landscape my cousins. She didnt realize she had hers in a different direction until after we started lol.
I will try and get a photo of my sister in laws, i believe hers was a pink background.

Brushes# 4 flat or smaller. One inch or larger for background. Stems are done in green and white or grwen and light green running #4flat sideways. Flowers are used with same size and style brush and white paint witg a combination on lines and side stamps.
