This is a gorgeous lesson based on French/Canadian artist Sandrine Pelissier who lives in Vancouver, BC. Students started off by looking at her flower paintings on her website HERE.
She has instructional books on how to create there- check it out HERE.
Here is the description from her website:
Forgo reference photos and discover a more organic and joyful way of painting! With its friendly step-by-step format, Painting Imaginary Flowers features a simple, three-stage approach to creating flowers only you can make…
Drop in color (ink, watercolor or fluid acrylics) to create abstract backgrounds full of beautiful textures and “blooms.”
Just like spotting shapes in the clouds, search for shapes in your background that suggest blossoms and leaves. Paint around them and watch the flowers emerge!
Add patterns in pen to create a lovely, faux collage effect.
With plenty of mixed-media techniques throughout for building up luscious texture and color, even beginners can achieve happy results.
We used 9 x 11" heavy white paper. Students used the wet on wet technique to add drops of colour to their painting is a freestyle way.
Then they drew a vase in any shape and added flowers and leaves.
Paint the negative space with white paint.
Use acrylics and paint pens to add colour to the vase and flowers and then add patterns.
Grade 7-9 artworks!
I love how they turned out!!
