Porcelain flowers

Here are some wonderful master craftsman that use porcelain to create soft delicate, realistic flowers in a medium that can often look bulky or tacky. They seem to excel in still capturing the fragility of the flower beautifully! These examples where found through Pinterest. Lada Peskova Lada Peskova Vladimir Kanevsky Vladimir Kanevsky Working in clay, as with working in metal, there is a fine line between adding substance to piece and adding volume especially when working with the delicate subject matter of a flower.

So this week I gave my first "still life : sketch and water colour class at the beautiful Collective Store, in Wynnum. So I decided to start posting a few tutorials on my blog, perhaps it can help others. My style is quite minimal in colour and illustrative as I always use a pen to finish of and add some details. So it makes it different to the norm. Why not try this at home. Enjoy! Freesia Image taken from my Pinterest folder: Flowers. (Link attached below) Step 1 Lightly sketch out the flower (HB pencil) Step 2 Work your shades of green from lightest to darkest using a fine brush ( viridian green, dark green, hint of blue) Step 3 Work up the flowers from light pinks, to deeper crimsons. Add a bit of brown to your pink to finish of buds with thicker paint and a finer brush add stamen texture. (white, crimson, blown) Step 4 Once dry, add a watery film of yellow over the flowers and buds (yellow) Step 5 Using a fine
