How do you proceed?

I already mentioned that my drawing skills are not that great, and then the internet is your best friend.

There I saw a beautiful colouring page of a magnolia and I used that for inspiration.

First I made the blue background with various shades of blue and some white acrylic paint.

When that was dry I transferred the printed magnolia onto the canvas with carbon paper.

Then you have the guide lines and the painting can begin.

I really did this by feeling, because the coloring page had no example of colors, but that's the fun part.

Mixing colors is wonderful.

Another tip from this side, put perfection far back in the cupboard... and enjoy painting.

It doesn't matter what it looks like, it's all about the fun you get from it.

Colorful greetings Agnes
