Lisianthus Beauties... Original Acrylic Flower Floral Painting From Sketch to Final Version

I love to paint flowers, there’s something in their delicate transitory natures that draws me in. I don’t usually offer my paintings framed, but these were painted specifically for this frame. I am sharing the evolution of this painting from sketch to final version here.

#1 Lisianthus Flowers Rough Sketch, WIP

This is my rough sketch of two lisianthus flowers nestled together. I changed the composition somewhat to have the two more in frame when I transferred them.

In this WIP work in progress, I have laid in my background for the painting. It is soft and abstract.

In this WIP work in progress, the stems have been painted and I worked a bit on the petals of one of the flowers.

In this WIP work in progress, I have painted the petals of the second flower, next will come the flower cores.

Here the flowers are, all finished up... This is the cropping for my 5"x7" prints and ACEO prints.

The original painting is 4"x3.5" acrylic painting on acid free vellum paper in a 5.25"x4.75" frame. I hope you have enjoyed seeing my process for this piece!
