A small Flower Painting in a modern semi-abstract 

style. The support is a piece of grey-board (thick grey card)

which has been given about four coats of white acrylic gesso.

 

Flower Painting Technique:

Photographic reference was used for this Flower Painting 

Study which is executed in a spontaneous manner giving 

attention to the energies of the interlocking lights and darks 

of the foliage and the star-shaped mauve Flower. Fine detail 

was not considered to be important in this piece of Artwork.

 

The texture in the brush marks is created through the use 

of a cheap coarse hog's hair brush, available in any discount 

hardware store (I bought a set of 5 for £1).
