Gerber Daisy

Angela Anderson also has a video on painting a Gerber Daisy. It looked simple enough so I set out to recreate her painting. I think this was my first successful painting, It did take three tries to get it right, but the first two can be counted as learning experience. I learned a lot about layering colors, blending, and that awkward point in middle of your painting when it looks like you have ruined it but then after a little more detailing, it all comes together.

One of the biggest issues with this painting was that had gone to buy paints, I had no idea what to buy so I got a boxed set that looked like a good assortment. Well, it is an assortment but assorted neon and metallic colors. So I had to mix a few colors to try to find something close to the ones she was using.


I did get another tube of paint that I thought was closer to the brown she was using and repainted.

Her for your viewing pleasure... my first, second, and third draft of the Gerber Daisy.
