 Before we get started with this painting tutorial I want to say how completely touched I was by your comments on my last post, Time For a Change. I’m always amazed at how sweet and supportive Just Paint It readers are. Thank you so, so much. Okay, let’s paint a pretty little teacup. I don’t […]

How to Paint Hydrangea

Hi, thanks for stopping by today to see how to paint hydrangea. I’m demonstrating the wet-blending method – using two or more paint colors together. In addition to the video from the Hangout on Air, I wanted to also give you some step-by-steps for this technique. When I first started painting, I’d look at the […]

Hydrangea Patterns

This week, and probably part of next, I’m focusing on Mother’s Day projects. The fact that I’m also in the midst of the series, How To Paint Simple Spring Flowers, and flowers go so nicely with Mother’s Day is just a happy little coincidence.

Paint a 3-D Fleur de Lis

Paint 3D Fleur de Lis

A couple of weeks ago a new reader emailed me, saying she wanted to paint a fleur de lis and did I have any tips. With Mardi Gras coming up (ok, it’s most likely passed by the time you read this) I thought why not just paint one and show her step-by-step? So I did […]

How To Glitter Wine Goblets

How To Glitter Goblets

I’ve seen these glittered wine goblets all over the Pinterest and the internet, usually around the holidays. To be honest, I was just going to paint these glasses, not glitter them. But there it is. And you know what? Every time I look at it, I smile. I don’t know why. I’m not what you’d […]
