Extraordinary Floral Painting Techniques For Unique Flower Art
One of the most common subjects in painting is flowers. It is one of the most straightforward themes in art. But finding a specific style in painting flowers could be next to impossible. Even the youngest painters start by making their interpretation of these colorful natural objects.
All floral paintings have something new to offer. Because of this fact, there is no right or wrong way of painting flowers. If you want to come up with a different floral painting idea, here are several methods to paint flowers in unique ways possible:
Hand Painted Flower
This technique is one of the easiest ways to paint flowers if you are new to this kind of hobby. All you need is some acrylic paint, paintbrushes, a piece of canvas board, wood, or whatever you have on hand. You need to decide on your preferred color combinations for your floral painting. Once you know which colors to use, you can start by painting four circles on top of each other.
Puppy Paw Print Flowers
Another exciting way to make floral paintings is to ask your precious pet for assistance. You can make a memorable keepsake of your puppy by dipping his paws in washable paint or watercolors and then pressing it on a piece of cardstock. Then, decorate it with leaves and stems using a small paintbrush to make the paws look like flowers.
You only need to make sure that the paints do not contain any ingredients harmful to your pets. These ingredients include henna, benzoyl alcohol, or xylitol. After finishing your floral masterpiece, you need to wipe off your pet’s paws or bathe him to remove the paint and avoid spreading it all over the house.
These are several suggestions to create unique floral paintings. All of these will allow you to practice your painting skills while using different painting techniques. Thus, you can come up with an extraordinary way to interpret a broad subject. You can also think of other ways to form flowers using paint and turn them into excellent works of art.

Supplies
- Acrylic paint in light blue, white, 2 shades of green, flower colors (your choice)
- White cardstock
- Paintbrushes
- Paper straws
- Plastic forks (or fork that is not used for food)
- Paint palette and water dish
- Scissors
- Pencil and eraser
Instructions for your flower painting
1. First, have kids draw the line dividing the hill and sky onto white cardstock. Drawing this line at an angle will add some interest to the artwork.
Get blue and white acrylic paint ready in a palette. Have kids paint the sky a light blue and blend in some white streaks to create clouds.
Kids can choose to blend the white and blue colors together as much or as little as they like.
2. Take the darker of your two green colors and paint the hill. Let everything dry completely before moving on.
3. Get your lighter green paint ready in a paint palette, dip a fork into the paint and press it on the bottom of your painting on top of the hill. This will start to create blades of grass.
Continue to dip the fork in the paint and press it onto your paper until you are happy with how everything looks. Try scratching some more details in the grass with the tips of the fork like in the photo above.
4. Once your grass is dry, it’s time to get the paper straws ready. Cut each straw in half and cut tiny slits in one end of the straw about 1/2 an inch up. Fan out the cut ends of the straw.
5. Have kids choose the paint colors for their flowers and get the colors ready in a paint palette. For our examples, we used two different colors for each type of flower.
Dip the straw into one paint color and stamp it on the paper around where the grass is to create a flower shape. Continue to dip the straw into your first color and stamp the flowers on in little clusters around the grass.
Make sure to press straight down and lift up so you don’t smudge your flower design. Leave lots of room for some of the grass to show through the flowers.
6. When you are finished stamping with one color, dip a straw into your second color and press it on top of the first color to create two-tone flowers. Making each flower two colors really adds depth and interest to this painting!
