Daffodils are beautiful to look at, no matter whether you’re looking at the actual flowers, or just a painting. But in order to make a daffodil painting stand out, you need to maintain certain criteria, which I was previously unaware. I later went through a few videos on how to paint a daffodil, and came to know of some techniques which can help elevate the artwork.
There are two main ways to paint daffodils. There’s the acrylic way, and then the watercolor way. Oil painting, although widely used for this purpose, can’t always do justice to these light colored flowers.
In this video tutorial, the artist will show you an easy approach to painting daffodils, using acrylic paints. The flowers in this painting are not heavily detailed. There’s a bit of color shading, and a little lighting effect to go with it. But it’s not anything difficult. There’s nothing complex about this artwork. With a bit of practice, anyone can replicate this simple, yet beautiful painting.
