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.

Gerbera daisy


For this daisy painting, the tutorial was for a little more then a quarter of a flower, aimed at the bottom corner of the cancas. My sister and I decided it would be fun to make 4 canvases that would piece together.
We used 4 8x10 canvases. And placed them down together on the floor (more open space then the table) and placed a small plate in the center of all four to trace our circle. Then we rough sketched the petals.
After that we filled in the background areas, then the center circles with the brown, then from there followed along with the tutorial. We jusnt didnt waste the extra paint painting the backgrounds prior to sketching the petals.
I went with a popart look, doing a skyish blue background for all 4 canvases and using 4 different color petals.
My sister chose to change her background color but keep her flowers the same.
Here are our pictures, individual and together.

My son decided to paint with us also, but i didnt get a final product of his.
