Many times when an artist creates they are inspired by other artists. So we looked at Georgia O'Keefe's painting today and were inspired to create our own painting of a flower that radiates from the center! If you would like to create your own you can follow along with the steps below:
- Draw a dot or circle in the middle of a canvas board or paper using pencil.
- From that circle draw lines radiating out to the edge. Make lines curved or straight with some long and some shorter.
- Draw the outside edge connecting all of the lines. As you can see in Georgia O'Keefe's painting, that line is very curvy and forms the petals.
- Using acrylic paint (watercolor or tempera will work fine also) paint the flower. Start with the lightest colors first. Have fun picking your own colors, using the painting above as a guide.
Since we were inspired by the painting, everyone's work came out different! Please let me know your thoughts and have fun!
