Flower Paintings

3. When we paint, we release some sort of energy
within ourselves, we express our emotions and
we share with other people how we perceive
life as we see it with our own eyes. Also,
paintings doesn’t have to be exclusively enjoyed
by the artists when we paint them, but more so,
paintings are for the people who see them, to
appreciate them and to understand the beauty
of what surrounds us.

5. Usually, when painters create their works
of art, they get their inspiration from what
they see, be it people, landscapes, trees,
animals, flowers and almost anything there
is that we see, and some times, what we
don’t see. Generally, painters see the
beauty of nature and transfer this unto a
canvas or any other medium.

7. For those who love flower paintings, you are in luck
because many artists choose this theme for their
works of art. Still life and flower paintings are very
popular themes and many homes have these types of
painting inside. In fact, you will be able to choose
numerous types of flora and find that there are
paintings done about them already, albeit in different
styles and moods, some can be bright and happy
while some can be dark and droopy, this all depends
on what the artist wants to convey.

9. Aside from just an appreciative audience for
flower paintings, all aspiring artists can use
flowers as the themes of their first paintings.
The great thing about choosing flowers as your
theme is it would be hard to run out of subjects.
With so many types of flora available, you can
do a variety of flower paintings. In fact, with the
orchid alone, you can choose from the many
types of orchids there are.

11. Also, flowers are very colorful so that means you can
have a very vibrant looking work of art. What you
need to understand is that painting flowers may seem
very simple, but to make them look utterly
magnificent, you need to learn how to play with your
curves and lines to make them look vibrant and real.
Play with the lighting as well so you can create a
flower painting that seems like you could already
smell the flower.

13. If you want to learn how to paint flowers with
the greatest of ease, there are many books and
DVD’s that you can refer to and discover the
secrets in creating realistic looking flowers. If
you want, you can also join art classes in your
local area. If not, there are online art schools
that can help you discover the fun world of
flower painting.

15. But why flowers? Each delicate curve, line,
shape and color that goes into flowers is a
challenge in itself. Nature has made the
flowers to provide it with color in a natural
way. Men have always been fascinated with
flowers and this is evident in many homes
as there is usually an image or two found
inside of them.

17. Sure photographs can be blown up and
framed and can give a more realistic feel,
but there’s just something about flower
paintings that can never be captured by the
lens. Also, if you painted the flower
yourself, you will derive a lot of satisfaction
knowing that you have created your own
personal masterpiece.
