"Anything is possible with a little sunshine and a little pink."

Lilly Pulitzer

Pink flower series

I have been teaching art classes for children for many years and this is one of my favorite lessons.  It's so much fun to teach and the children's paintings always look better than mine!

 I started out by covering the background with a solid color.

 I used a chalk to outline the design.

 Paint the vase any color desired.

 Mixed my pretty pinks for my flowers.

Added greens for the leaves.  You can add a backgournd color or leave it just like this.

This world is but a canvas to our imagination.

Henry David Thoreau

I started out with an idea, sketched it out.

 Then painted with a pallet knife to give it texture.

filled the whole canvas with color using the knife.

The last step I washed with india Ink.
