Orange Blossom Painted Curtains

Orange Blossom Painted Curtains - student project

When I thought about what my space needed, I knew I wanted something full of life, and bright colors. I love creating botanical and floral art, and that's how I decided on the theme for these curtains.

To get to my final design, I started with some loose sketches of the individual oranges, then moved on to figuring out the design as a bigger picture. Once I found a direction, I sketched out a more detailed sketch with paint.

After mapping out my orange and leaf motif in pencil, I moved on to paint my curtains in layers until they were complete.
