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!

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.
