Skagit Valley Tulips
My father loved the tulip fields north of Seattle, and introduced me to them when I was young. He created several paintings from his photos of the fields. A trip to the fields became a treat that we looked forward to each spring. I missed the annual event during the years that I lived in the Southwest, so I created a few paintings of my own to remember them by.
Now that I am back in the PNW (Pacific Northwest) I have located fields closer to me – near Mount Rainier. As an added bonus, I can now grow my own tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths 🙂
PAINTING SIZE
Create your painting any size you want. I made mine 9” x 12”.
SUPPLIES
canvas of your choice – panel or gallery wrap (I used a 9″ x 12″)
acrylic paints (There are many good brand choices – here are a few: Grumbacher, Arteza, Golden, Liquitex, Artist Masters, Amsterdam)
I used Liquitex paints except where noted.
colors used:
phthalocyamine green, bright aqua green, naples yellow, cadmium yellow deep hue, olive green (by Amsterdam), cadmium orange, hooker’s green, deep violet, light magenta, payne’s gray (by Artists Touch), titanium white
paint brushes: round size 8, small flat brush
cup of water, paper towel, easel
DIRECTIONS
VIDEO: Watch my video at the end of the article to see the process.
I provide 2 different methods for using molding paste (also called modeling paste) on this page, and in my free video.
METHOD 1
1. Apply the molding paste to the canvas first, using a palette knife. Paint is NOT mixed with the paste for this step.
2. After the paste has dried (it took a little over an hour for the paste to dry), paint the uppper background. Use a small brush to paint in close to the flowers. Continue around to the area under the flowers. Paint the foreground.
3. After the background is in (a good base coat), use a small brush to paint the flowers.
4. Add more layers of paint to the upper area, flowers, and foreground as necessary. Many layers are needed for depth and a finished look. Use a palette knife to add more dimension to the foreground.
This method produced beautiful results. The downside was that I had to wait quite a while for the paste to dry before painting it. Due to the heavy texture, it was difficult to get all the little nooks and crannies painted. I had to paint a layer, let it dry, then go back and repaint several times. Also, it wasa bit difficult to paint in close around the flowers.
METHOD 2
1. Paint the entire background first. Allow the background to dry.
2. Mix the floral paint with the molding paste. Use a palette knive to apply the thickened paint to the canvas. Use this same technique to add foreground.
3. Add new layers as necessary for dimension and finishing.

Paint Pink Tulips Fast and Easy
Paint pink tulips, fast and easy, step by step. This is one of the very first painting tutorials I create and the video is proof. You can easily tell that I was a complete novice at creating videos but I learned so much by just doing and not waiting to be perfect before sharing.
Learn how to paint tulips then join me over at Paint Pink Tulips in a Teacup for a fun design.
You can start with a pattern as I did for the demo but you can also just sketch in some ovals for placement then paint the petals in layers.
Look at a photo of some tulips and emulate placement of the petals. Remember we are not going for realism but an impression of them.
Practice, practice, practice. This is my practice sheet before starting the tutorial. I often do some practice strokes to get warmed up.
Paint Tulip Leaves & Stems
1.Double load the 3/4″ brush with DecoArt Americana Avocado Green and Citron (if you have other colors of green use them, these are just what I used in this demo).
These are the back leaves. Start at an angle, drag brush upward while applying pressure.
As you slide to the tip of the leaf, turn your brush at an angle and lift to a chisel edge creating a pointed end on the leaf.
2. Start the second leaf slightly overlapping the first.
Note how you curve up to the point at the end of the leaf, they are not rigidly straight.
View the video for the rest of the leaves. It is easier to see how to do the folding leaf in the video.
3. Drag in some stems with the chisel edge of your flat brush.
Paint the Pink Tulips
4. Switch to the #12 flat brush. Double load with DecoArt Americana Royal Fuchsia and Snow White.
Begin with the back petals and work forward. Using a scallop stroke paint in the back petal. (see this post for basic strokes and terminology)
5. Continue to layer the back petals on until you have what you want.
6. Reload your brush and paint on the front petals. You can do right or left, I started with the left.
I stroked up to a point at the top then came back down.
7. Paint the next petal on the other side.
I did some modified S strokes following the contour of the petals.
8. Do the same with the second tulip.
9. Paint the back petals first, then start one the front.
Notice I did not bring the left front petal stroke back down as I did the first.
For more on the rest of the tulips please view the video.
Please enjoy and share!
