One of the areas I really want to improve in is painting flowers and nature in general. My goal this year is to do more painting studies and still life with everyday objects. In this video, I attempt to paint some roses. The first one came out okay, but the second one was definitely overworked. I was in a rush to finish before the baby woke up from her nap and didn’t allow the layers to dry underneath so the colors started to become muddy. It was a great reminder to take my time and that I need more practice with color mixing to get the exact shades I want. Getting the the right color off the bat will not only save me time, but also allow me to work with fewer layers.

Hi everyone and welcome back to my channel. If this is your first time seeing one of my videos, welcome! My name is Mary and I make art and lifestyle content. I am on a journey to becoming a full time artist, and I will be sharing my progress here as well as on my website which you could find a link to down below. If any of that sounds like something you would be interested in, please consider subscribing and hitting that bell icon so that you never miss an update!
One of the things I really struggle with when it comes to art is painting flowers. So in today’s video, you get to watch me struggle with not only one, but two flower paintings. I also experiment with some abstract techniques and by the end of it, hopefully, I’ll have gained some knowledge and experience that I could use towards future paintings. You can find timestamps in the description box below, if you’d like to skip around in the video. Thanks for watching, and I’ll catch you in the next one!

This was a quick study of a coyote. They are a common sight here in Southern California. You can find them roaming around neighborhoods and in urban areas.

In this video I paint a quick landscape study on a small linen wooden panel. I also finish a portrait painting of my daughter using oil paints. I finish off the video with a quick varnish using Gamblin’s Gamvar Gloss Picture Varnish to protect the artwork.
I recently bought this lavalier microphone to capture better audio during my filming process. You can hear the difference that it makes between the beginning and end of the video. I tested the mic while varnishing the pieces and I am looking forward to incorporating more ASMR into my videos.

This was a quick alla prima still life study featuring a bouquet of flowers passed their prime and a bundle of dried lavender contained in a couple of glass vases and a glass skull shaped jar.
I don’t have much experience painting glass, because it has always intimidated me. Painting this still life study has taught me the unusual characteristics of glass and the way it bends light.

I would love to paint en plein air using my oil paints. But that would require traveling with more equipment and supplies than I normally do. In the meantime, I find myself enjoying doing these mini landscape oil painting studies in the comfort of my home. Here are a couple of quick studies I did earlier this week.
"Ketchikan" oil paint on 4" x 6" wood panel
This first painting made me realize that I haven’t quite figured out which yellow and blue to pair in order to mix a specific shade of green. It didn’t help that the lighting in my room was inconsistent as I worked on this painting.
In order to solve this issue before diving into the second landscape study, I decided to do some color experimentation in my sketchbook using all the yellows and blues I have in my collection.
Materials used for “Ketchikan”:
"Fairview Park" oil paint on 4" x 6" wood panel
The second painting came out much better than the first study. I find myself being drawn back to the dirt path time and time again. There is just something about the cool shadows and warm sunlit areas that sparks joy in me.
