I found a plate that was 6″ in diameter. You can do the same and find a circle that is relatively the same size. If you are working on a larger or smaller canvas, you will need to adjust the size of your circle. I used a pencil to trace.
Using any brush (I used a filbert brush), paint the entire circle a solid coat of burnt umber.You don’t need to worry about stroke direction here, it is only an under layer color.
For the petals I used a #8 round brush and the color cadmium yellow hue. I started each petal at the base where the circle is and overlapped it slightly over the circle. Then I drew each petal out. The tip of all the petals went almost all the way to the edge of the canvas. The petals themselves are wider in the middle and come to a point. Because ...
For the back petals, I mixed on my palette burnt umber and cadmium yellow hue. I did not mix it all the way. Use about 2 parts burnt umber and 4 parts cadmium yellow hue. Use the #8 round brush to draw out all the back petals and then fill them in. This should look like a golden yellow, not too dark but darker than the front petals. Also, paint the...
Switch back to a clean #8 round brush and add carbon black to your palette. Use the tip of that round brush to dot a circle of dense black dots in the center. Form a circle with those dots. The circle was about 3″ diameter.
Continue stippling the outer part of that gray ring you created. Work your way to the outer edge of the circle but don’t fill it in solid. In the next step, I added some orange to my brush so leave some room for the orange.
The flat brush really helps to cut in on those petals especially when you turn it on its side to use the straight edge of the tip. The background was painted in a solid two coats of ultramarine blue. I ended up having to do two coats because the paint I was using was a bit translucent. To get into some of the tight corners, use that 5/0 round brush...
I don’t give much detail when I paint the sides. I just use a solid coat or two of the color that is directly next to it as if the design is stretching on the sides. To paint the petals on the sides, I only used cadmium yellow hue and did not worry about the shading or anything. The left side of the canvas was pretty much all cadmium yellow hue. A ...
I started with the petal tips and painted little dots. Then I painted little spirals. The background was pretty much filled with spirals! I may have went a bit overboard but they were just too addicting to paint!
