As someone new to the world of painting this is a wonderful tutorial! My new years resolution last year was at the young age of 50 to learn to draw and paint. I never took art in school because I couldn't even draw a decent stick figure so I was afraid to even try. But now I have decided its way past time I learned to do this. I went out and bought all sorts of art mediums. Pencils of all kinds, water color, acrylic and oil paints. But I thought I would learn to draw a little first, so now I realize you can do anything if you put your mind to it :) I am now ready to take on the paint brush. I have a long way to go but with great videos like this one I know I will have painting, and drawings I will be proud to show off. Thank you for showing me how I can create a beautiful daisy in simple strokes!!
