@tammykayeartist: To paint this festive Christmas bouquet with poinsettias, I start by painting my red and pink petals with a number 12 round brush. Going from the outside in allows the petal to be pointed on the outside. Add in a loose vase and some dark green foliage to start to pull everything together. When the first layer is dry, paint in some smaller poinsettia petals on top of the first layer. When that is dry, get out your mixed media supplies! I used acrylic markers to outline the petals and add in details to this composition. I especially like the white lines on the vase. Finally, a black fine liner pen adds in some delicate details and veins to the petals of the poinsettia. Fun fact, did you know that the poinsettia petals are actually leaves themselves? #christmastree #tammykayeart #christmaspainting #holidaytrees #watercolorpainting
