Welcome to Princess Pie's Painting Blog. All my tips, hints and suggestions are strickly for fun and for the love of trying knew things and maybe somethings that one find intimidating to try!! I use paint that is about a dollar in price, sponges and a few simple brushes. Also, glossy artist pallette sheets are great and found at most dollar stores. There is no professional advice or critisism here...so paint along with me and enjoy! You might just find your inner artist!

This is something new to me. First, I started with painting the canvas black and let it dry. Then, taking a fan brush, I did a thin line of the top of the vase and then continued down, giving the vase form, then added highlights, also in white.
Using a variety of greens, I added stems, twigs and thin ferns. Then with a mixture of colours, I created flowers, (I've heard them be referred to as Fantasy Flowers)These flowers can be any shape, style and colour. Then when making stems for each flower, follow all the way from the flower in to the vase.
Try adding sticks and thin branches. The results are amazing and this type of picture is easy to create, yet looks wonderful. It can add to a entry way in your home or look snappy in a frame on your desk at work! (I can't believe, I just said 'snappy')
Soon, I will have a detailed, step by step instructions for this painting! Enjoy and keep painting!
