How to paint parrot tulips, flowers, petals, and other floral still life paintings! This is an oil painting tutorial designed to help you tackle your own floral still life paintings.

This is "Judy Garland," the second painting in the floral portion of my Square Foot Show series, which I've titled the Radiance Collection. This is painting number 5 of 12, and I have 7 paintings left to create in this online exhibition.

This painting can be modified to be an acrylic flower painting tutorial; simply work in multiple thin layers, as opposed to blending in the first shot. You can also see the Peonies tutorial for a detailed look at how to paint flowers in acrylic:    • Peony Acrylic Painting Tutorial + Tim...  

I hope you enjoy, feel free to connect with me and let me know how I can support you on your own artist's journey! Tag me in any completed paintings that were inspired by this video so I can enjoy your artwork.
