I love calla lilies, especially the pink/purple ones. I think I will paint some of them using pictures from this video.

Poppy and House – Acrylic Painting
After 6 basic acrylic painting lesson, here is our final painting project, based on a photo. It was painting on 12×12 in stretched canvas, ready to hand on the wall. No frame needed, which is very convenient. It is hanging on the wall in my studio. 🙂
Narcissus in Acrylic
Narcissus, one type of white daffodils, is very popular flower during Chinese New Year. Narcissus represents innocent and self-esteem.
Spring is coming … daffodils leaves are turning green and buds are growing. Here comes white daffodils, one of my favorite flowers.
Red Rose in Acrylic
Who doesn’t love rose? Roses have been on my painting list for a while. I think I will have rose series paintings in different colors, types, shapes, etc.
As a real beginner in painting, I look for inspirations from other people’s painting or photos. The painting below is the one I was referring to. However, I was not able to mimic the light and shadow. So far I’ve found the shadow coloring is the most challenging thing for me.
My Sunflowers Vs. Van Gogh’s Sunflowers
I loved Van Gogh’s sunflower so much that I have to paint one based on his. Can you tell me which one is Van Gogh’s and which is mine? 🙂
I paint this in a 5”x7” Canvas Panel. It was so much better experience painting on Canvas Panels than watercolor paper. Smoother, higher quality and no buckles!
I drew the sunflower based on Van Gogh’s oil painting first, and then added vivid orange colors in different values. I painted the background in blueish green. I absolutely love my sunflowers and I feel so nappy and fulfilling. It’s satisfactory and rewording that you can paint what you love!
Charcoal Drawing #3 – Sunflower & Lily
Sunflower is one of my favorite flowers. I like their vibrant colors and spirit. I plant sunflower in my gardens. They grow so easily and can be up to more than two meters high.
It’s my first time to draw sunflower. I like the colors and composition; but the shading is always the most difficult part.
I also drew a white lily which I like a lot. It looks like I am pretty good at capturing those flowers with a simpler shade.
