How to Paint an Iris

Iris are a cottage garden favorite and very easy to paint. Learn to paint an Iris one stroke at a time.
I make this as easy as possible. Practice will help get the ruffles like you wish.
Iris are such a beautiful Spring flower and painting them is as rewarding as growing them in the garden.

I liked this much better than Donna Dewberry's irises. Thank you so much, been looking for a better technique for them.

[@PamelaGroppe]

Thank you. We all develop our own style even when we use a particular technique. Like having our own distinct signature.

[@virginiacrowe4656]

I love your tutorial and I’m practicing but I think I have the wrong brush. It’s a 3/4 in flat brush but you said “one stroke”. Is that I certain type of bristles?

[@PamelaGroppe]

Hi Virginia, if you go to the blog post linked in the description box I have a supply list, I have the brushes linked to a source there. The brushes I use most often are the Donna Dewberry One stroke set, it has the 3/4 inch flat included in it. I hope this helps.

[@virginiacrowe4656]

Yes thank you so much.

[@user-ms4nx2ed7g]

Самое главное это wiggle, wiggle, и ещё раз wiggle. 😊

[@PamelaGroppe]

Yes, you are right, the wiggle is so important.

[@hirasalman742]

How does your paint stay wet bcz it's soo smooth. What do you mix in it? I use water.. When I do these type of techniques it doesn't work

[@PamelaGroppe]

No this is just Plaid Folk Art craft acrylics, they are the right consistency for this type of stroke work. Also you can use Plaid FolkArt Floating medium to help if the paint does not go on smoothly but not a lot.

[@1AV8TRIX]

The acrylics your using looks watery. What kind r they? I use Golden prof paints in a tube.

[@PamelaGroppe]

These are craft acrylics in the bottle. I also use Golden Artists acrylics in the tube and I love their Golden Fluid acrylics. I demo with craft acrylics for a more economical start for most beginner painters.

[@donferguson1377]

What brand and number brush are you using

[@PamelaGroppe]

I added all that extra information into the blog post which is linked in the description box.

[@nataliakrakovsky3660]

Wonderful I don’t know what kind of paint you used can you tell me a little bit about your pain this is not what the color it looks like we’ll maybe it’s acrylic

[@PamelaGroppe]

The link in the description box will take you to an article that has a full list of the paint colors and options.

[@Barbara1957-x3s]

what size brush are you using ? Mine did not come out like yours .

[@PamelaGroppe]

hi Barbara, in this example I used a 3/4" flat brush for the flower petals and a #12 for the beards.

[@Barbara1957-x3s]
