Wow, that came out really pretty! I’ve never had that type of iris, but I think that will be easier to paint than bearded irises!!!! Gorgeous. Thank you!!!

Great tutorial for the Iris. I will try this again with the Iris I drew from your free floral drawing challenge. I want to try these brushes as well. I have one. My other brushes don't seem to give the same results. They are nice brushes, but maybe they are getting old and haven't been used for a long time. I can't wait to try my own composition. You are amazingly talented. Thanks for this insight and inspiration.

Hi........Just found you but I have to ask this almost before watching the demo. How did you find/get a plastic palette to mix paint so well without beading up??? Your puddles look like they were created on a porcelain palette. Perfect. Did you treat it in some way before painting? I have never seen a plastic palette work so well even after years of use. Please share.........Now I get to watch you paint. Thanks so much!

Judith, if you apply a thin coat of toothpaste and rub it in well with your finger and then remove the exves with a clean tissue or cloth it will prevent your paints from beading. I don't recommend scrubbing it with sand paper nor the scratchy side of a kitchen sponge. I tried that and the paint will settle and dry in the scratches you made.

@katrinacrouch

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Judith! I used a little bit of dish soap and a soft towel. Same idea as the toothpaste that Martha mentioned-there is a residue that you want to get rid of that causes the beading. But if porcelain works for you, definitely use that and avoid the headache 😉

@@pattitaylor7642 I don't have a specific photo, no! I'm sorry-for my looser paintings, I often look at a bunch of different pictures so I can understand the structure and allow the paint to flow a little more natural while still (hopefully) remaining largely accurate to the original anatomy of the plant. If you google or search Pinterest for "bearded iris", I'm sure similar images will come up!
