Frangipanis

Step-by-Step - Level ◆◆◆

There's something so incredibly exotic about frangipanis. Maybe it's because they conjure up images of Hawaii and garlands of tropical flowers. But then there's also how fragile and pure they look, and their incredible scent.

Everyday of my visit to my parents recently I would visit this frangipani tree and breathe in the scent. It was so lovely. I'm really glad I took the time to paint them too.

Flower paintings like this one always seem to be a lot of steps. They're not very complicated, but it's worth slowing down and not rushing any of the steps. Concentrate on all the lovely colour variations, and the mix of soft and hard edges. This will make them look nice and natural.

Happy painting!
