Hydrangeas 16

Mona Pendleton | Monday, February 15, 2016 @ 11:49 PM | Oil Painting

Hi there! I hope you are having a great week! I'm having fun learning new strokes and techniques from two of my favorite artists. Today I have a 9" x 11" canvas board featuring a trio of hydrangeas that were inspired by Nancy Medina's Blue Lace Hydrangeas DVD. I'm still not quite ready to tackle a large 20" x 20" or bigger canvas but I'm feeling a bit more comfortable with the oil paints and brushstrokes:

practice, practice, practice...

I'm going to link this up with: Paint Party Friday:

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great week!
Be Sweet ;)

I am being a friendly critic Mona, hope you don't mind - introduce some more depth to them and they will pop out even more!;) I can't wait to see one day your painting on the large canvas!
