How to paint Hydrangea in acrylic with Clair Bremner

love this! please share your process for the leaves?

Thanks! I started with a blue and green "chaos layer" - just random brush strokes and ink drips. Then I drew the leaf shapes, vase and table line, and painted the rest of the negative space Naples yellow. The vase and tablehave tinted glazes on them, so the background shows through. This chaos layer was originally meant to become a water lilies painting (from another class I was taking), but I decided to go this route instead.

I would love to hear about it layer by layer - acrylic? dry and another round? They are so cool! (I feel like I am gushing but they are seriously awesome ... trying to replicate for another class and ... meh!)

It all happened by accident, as most of my successes do! Yes it's all acrylic paint, acrylic inks, and acrylic glazing medium. Just mess around and see what happens!

Lovely. The colours are perfect and I love the extra leaves you have added.

I like it better now.
