White Roses, Larkspur and Kiwi Step by Step and a Texas Flower Painting Workshop by Nancy Medina



White Roses, Larkspur and Kiwi
by Nancy Medina

Class Demo, Irving, Texas

16X20
Oil on Linen Board
White Roses, Larkspur and Kiwi was my demo painting for class today in Irving, Texas, at the Jaycee Park Center for the Arts and the first time I ever painted kiwi. I've shared it with you step by step below, and also some photos of my student's paintings. It was one of those classes where I wanted to grab up all the luscious student paintings and run out of the building saying Mine Mine Mine!! 

The kiwi was fun to paint, and I am sure I'll do it again, but I had forgotten to bring a knife so attempted to saw the fruit in half with a pair of blunt scissors, until one of my students whipped out her handy dandy exacto knife and saved the day. Mushy kiwi is not pretty. Trust me on that. To see this painting step by step, see some of my students' paintings and glean some insightful observations about kiwi, click here...

Put a little joy in your brush and
join me for my upcoming workshops
in the Texas Hill Country and 
Memphis-Germantown, Tennessee!
