Design Brief:

Paint your own Magnolia blossoms botanical illustrations, post the pictures of your artwork to the project of the class.

Optional, post the pictures of the art supplies you used and your art space, pictures of the work in progress and write about your project - I love seeing the behind the scenes and reading your stories.

I created a magnolia blossom Pinterest board for your inspiration, please use the pictures for inspiration only the pictures may be subject of copyright.

Feel free to use the picture painted by me as a direct reference, find the picture below and as an attachment.
