Here is my Gerbera, I felt like a bull in a china shop with this one. I managed to put the heel of my palm in the wet petal and spread it everywhere, that was a big clean up. Finally I got it done, its not as delicate as I would have like but then bulls aren't delicate are they :2funny:
-

Thanks JayJ. :thankyou: :thankyou: :thankyou:
22 June - house was cleaned out in a burgalery and our new Isuzu bakkie were stolen too.
2 July - a 2 nd burgalery. The rest of our earthly wealth were stolen
26 August -Hijacked in Balitto, South Africa. I escaped with my life. My Bmw, all my luggage, handbag ect were taken. Horrible
experience. By the grace of God I am alive. The talent that I received from our Heavenly Father nobody can put their hands on....so I will just pursue it. Thanks for your prayers.
-
Marie,
What a sad series of events. Yes, you are lucky to be alive and have your artistic talent in tact.
God bless you.

Beautiful gerbera flowers guys, and Marie; congrats being in the newsletter! It's well deserved.
I'm watching the video right now, anyone else problems with the sound?
-
Hi Germa. Thank you so much. The video was okay. Hope you get the sound going.
-
:painting: This painting is really STUNNING Natalie.
-
Thanks Louisa. We have great teachers around here! ;)
-
This was a bit difficult and my reds are not really reds, but I'm happy with it.
-
Louisa,
I think the shade of red that you have is lovely.
I went back and looked at the lesson and Nolan put a bit of a darker shade of green at the top of the stem because the flower cast a small shadow across it.
Beautiful painting.
I actually still have this one all transferred onto canvas, just waiting for the inspiration to paint it.

Thanks Mea for taking the time to look and comment on my paintings, much appreciated. :hug:

Beautiful gerber daisy Louisa

Beautifull flower Louisa.

great job, lovely depth :yippee: :yippee: :yippee:
just deepen the green on the shadow side of the stem O0
-
Lovely Gerberas Mcwren and Louisa. I spent all afternoon trying to draw mine and ended up with nothing! Come to the conclusion my canvas is not the right size. Can you tell me what size canvas should be used for this picture.
Whoever thought a simple daisy could be so hard to draw. Because of the low contrasts I am battling to see whether the petals should be in front or behind!! :2funny: :2funny:
-
Thanks a lot Fiona, I used a 16" X 20". :hug:
-
Really Louisa? I tried an A3 but it needed more detail to fill it up. Did you draw freehand or on a grid? I was trying to do it on a grid. I am going to have another look at yours carefully and maybe try to draw it freehand, you have done Such a lovely job!
Hubby is home but rather alarmed me tonight asking whether I knew the number for the ambulance in case I find him unconscious. Can't leave him alone now in case his lungs collapse again, so shall have plenty if time to paint!
-
Great that you have time to paint Fiona, but sincerely hope you won't need that phone number! :eek: Best thoughts and wishes your way. :1hug:
-
I used a 16"x20" canvas. If yours has different proportions, then just add or remove from the right hand flower O0 :gl:
-
Thank you everybody: Robin, Natalie and Danielle. Thanks Nolan I will fix. :hug:
-
Well as Nolan says, the painting can only be as good as the drawing! I had endless trouble trying to draw this freehand and in fact ended up painting it onto the canvas and adjusting as I went along. Having had thoughts of throwing it out umpteen times along the way, quite pleased with how it eventually turned out!
-
So glad u didnt Fiona!...its beautiful!
-
Fiona you did SO well, it is beautiful. :flowers: :flowers: :flowers:
-
Fiona this is great!
-
you have done a wonderful job Fiona :yippee: :yippee: :yippee:
If you were battling with the drawing work, why didn't you redraw it using the grid method?
-
Looks great Fiona. O0 :clap: :clap: :clap:
-
Oh dear, I just love Gerber daisies. And yours are spectacular. :clap:
-
Ms. Fig,
Lovely gerbera. Pretty shade of pink. Velvety petals. Beautiful background.
Center of the flower (whatever the technical name for it is - the pin cushiony thing) might look better with a bit of dark.
Otherwise, so lovely.

:thankyou: Mea, Jayj, Bellarina, Mcwren, Val, Louisa and NOLAN.
NOLAN my first attempt was on the grid, but my eyes just weren't able to follow all the lines!! :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: it's a DOB (date of birth) thing, you probably have a few years to go!! :2funny: :2funny: :help: I think if there is a next time it will have to be a trace job!

nothing wrong with tracing if it means your drawing work gets done O0
-
Fiona, you did a fantastic job on you Gerbera, and free hand. Excellent. :yippee:
-
That's true Nolan!
Thanks Danielle!

Beautiful p[painting Fiona!

Thanks Brian, it certainly didn't feel beautiful when I was painting it! :2funny: :2funny:
-
Beautiful Natalie...here's one of mine.

-
well done, looking forward to seeing the difference after you have completed the class O0

Beautiful blending.

Thank you Mea and Patricia. Yes, this was a whole lot different than the pets I have done. I think that's why I enjoyed it so much. I only have to please me, no one else. ;)

Thank you Teresa and Dennis.
Teresa- I don’t think MaryLou has painted this flower before, although I think she would do an amazing job at it if she did!
-
Put in a frame and hang it
-
:envy: Sorry EmmaLee I have corrected my message :D ;)
-
No need to apologize, Teresa. I have done that before too. :)
-
:heeha: WOW!!! Positively brilliant!!! Banner job EmmaLee O0 :congrats:

Awesome Dolly

:thankyou: Val and Win!!! :) :)

Here is my gerbera daisy. I think the under petals came out too pink. I know the tulip video talks about a wash technique. Maybe I should add a darker wash over them? I did this in oil and all is dry except the bottom right flower.
-
:clap: Great painting Bob. I agree. I little bit of extra color to the under petals will just add to the beauty.
-
Really beautiful vibrant colours in this painting, well done :congrats:
You will be surprised at how light the back of a petal can be. Some of them are almost white. If it bothers you adjust it, otherwise leave as is O0
-
Excellent as it is :clap: :clap: :clap:
-
Beautiful work. :clap: :clap: :clap:
-
Thanks everyone. I'll keep it as is.

Gerberas are one of my favorite flowers. It’s a beautiful painting. :painting:

Love the rich colouring! :clap: :clap: :clap:
