If you're looking to paint the beautiful flowers that are coming out in your garden right now, but you don’t know how to start, then you're in the right place, because today I’ve dug up a special video for you. I’m going to show you how I painted one of the prettiest flowers in our garden, one which can seem challenging to paint and that I’ve never painted before. Plus, throughout the video I share ten special techniques with you which can be used for any flower. So come along with me and I’ll show you my tips and tricks for painting flowers straight from the garden.

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Maestro Series (black and Gold handles) and the Golden Nylon Series 11-2 (red and white handles) and I use sizes 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13. drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
