You can personalize the number of fairies or the type of flowers to symbolize your family or friends. Imagine the landscape sky to be a beautiful summer or spring day with the hint drifting clouds floating by hovering over a field of soft dandelions ready to be blown into the air with a gentle breeze. Imagine the little fairy dancers moving to the sounds of nature, with the bugs and birds chirping to the rhythm of the summers heart beat. They may be dancing in the early morning as the warmth of the sun kisses the edges of the flowers. You’ll learn how to paint this lovely country landscape meadow and these beautiful mythical magical creatures with movement and personality by using simple painting techniques for blending and adding highlights and shadows for dimension. Let the silhouettes be crisp and the flowers be soft with some of them being out of focus with tranquil soothing colors and a carefree paint strokes.

With the lush fertile grass transitioning from dark to light, you’ll create a realistic glow leading the viewers eyes to travel through the meadow. The complimentary colors will bring cohesion and harmony, creating a symphony of flowers trailing off into the distance. You’ll learn to paint these realistic looking flowers that pop, land that has atmospheric dimension and female figures with proper proportions.

When given as a gift to a loved one, the dandelions are believed to provide happiness and are a promise of total faithfulness.

I'm a member of a couple online paint groups and I ALWAYS steer people your way. You are so generous and so darn prolific! The things I appreciate most are you having just the right amount of "chat", using such a basic assortment of colors, minimal paintbrushes, showing onscreen the colors to use, and your videos are a perfect length. Plus, my Michelle paintings always turn out great! I get excited opening up my notifications and seeing that black shirt :)

I’ve just finished this painting. As a novice, for me it was a challenge, but I loved every minute of it. My background colour turned out a lot darker than I intended, but I’m still very happy with it. I traced the fairies then transferred to the canvas, as there is no way I could free hand paint them, it would have definitely been a disaster. Thank you.

[@maggieconnorhoody6101]

Michelle, thank you so much for your detailed explanation of everything. It was like you were reading my mind. I went out for a meditation walk through the park. I was so happy to be with the trees in nature. As I walked along a bird dropped a ring from the tree right in front of me. I bent down to pick it up and saw the most beautiful dandelion in the grass.I put the ring on the bench, hoping that owner would find it. I almost picked the dandelion to make a wish but my intuition told me otherwise. I left it for someone else to make a wish. Later that night in my sound healing class. One of the ladies said that in her meditation she saw me as a dancing fairy. Anyways, My intention was to paint an owl. That night I came home thumbing through different artists and ran across you. And found the dandelion and fairy Tutorial. Talk about synchronicity’s. It was a done deal, I had to paint it, there’s was no going back to my Owl. Thank you so much for teaching me. I learned a great deal in the 9days it took me to paint it. Thank you again…🌺✨💫💐

[@michellethepainter.]

Synchronicity for sure! Have fun painting!
