Painting Hydrangeas from the "Dreaming in the Garden" collection

3/3/2021

2 Comments

 
In case you missed it on Instagram, here is a fun little clip I put together showing my painting process for my hydrangea painting titled "Rhapsody in Blue" in my "Dreaming in the Garden" Collection. I love working with my hands -- adult finger painting for lack of a better term. I create textures buy allowing my paint to run and drip using a water bottle. This way, each painting is unique. I finish off many of my paintings with Neocolor II water soluble wax pastels. Making marks with these pastels puts the finishing touches on each painting. I love sharing my process with you.  Let me know what you think in the comments below. 

​You can see the entire collection right HERE.

I am a golden-age-flower-painter, but I would love to be more free and paint like you. I love your floverpaintings. I have been working several years with different kinds of paintings, but don't think, I have found my true way of painting yet.
Some years ago I went to Iowa over Chicago. My best friend lives in Iowa. We are both Danes, and I am still her in Denmark with my family.
I think I will try a curse with you.
Sincerely. Elisabeth Tasarek. Painter and Writer.

I really like this, the song seems a little sad but it has a bitt-sweet feel to it that I really like.. nice work Kate! I love this piece.
