I bought a big pot of Gerbera daisies for my art class to paint on canvas in acrylic. I actually think the class never even looked at the flowers. A class of girls, they had already perfected their own floral style long before this class and cavalierly set about penciling in their design. No glance at the leaf shape, no interest in the leaf veining, the tiny hairlike flower filaments in the center, just full speed ahead.
I insisted that the whole canvas needed to be filled.
I’ve started painting in watercolor again so I did a quick one.
