Some iridescent birds, insects and flowers can look almost metallic – like the shiny beetle<\/a> I showed you how to paint in another recent mini class.<\/p>\n

This time we’ll be looking at how to paint metallic flowers. But you won’t need metallic paints for this – as usual, we’ll achieve the shimmering look using regular watercolor paints.<\/p>\n

Working larger than life is the best way to paint metallic flowers, because as you’ll see, the shimmery look is created by using lots of small marks and details.<\/p>\n

Because we’ll just be working on a section of petal for this mini class, I’m going to show you the process in real time, step by step.<\/p>\n
