Introduction
The iris is a beautiful flower. It’s so beautiful, that you can’t capture its true beauty on a canvas unless you have the right skills, and the proper approach. I once thought that I knew how to capture this beauty. After all, I had worked on so many paintings before, so how could this be different? Well, turns out that I was wrong, and I had to rethink my approach all over again, and study a few tutorials along the way. If you too are confused as to how you should approach your iris painting, I recommend you do what I did, and study these tutorials.
There are two ways to paint an iris. There’s the watercolor way, which makes for a more artistic, or abstract look. Then there’s the acrylic way, which will give you a more vibrant look. You should choose the approach that you’re most comfortable with. That way, you’ll be able to get the best possible results.

The flowers are majestically colored, and although they have a simple appearance, the look is quite gorgeous. You can also notice the beautiful work of shade done in the painting. This artwork is very easy to replicate if you stay true to the steps in this tutorial.
