In this Masterclass, I'm painting a Baja Fairy Duster from start to finish. This started out as a commission to create a bookmark for Desert Survivors Nursery in Tucson. I decided to record the entire process so that I could show you how I painted it. The flowers of the Baja Fairy Duster are an eye-catching shade of bright red that is a hummingbird magnet. In this illustration I painted the flower buds, the full flower, the spent flower and the seed pods - basically the entire flower-cycle.
I painted this in Acrylic Gouache, but the technique is 90% the same whether you are using Traditional Gouache, Casein, Acrylic or Acryla Gouache.
After finishing the painting, I scanned it and brought it into Adobe Photoshop so I could crop it, add text and prepare it for export to the Printers to make the printed bookmarks. I give you a brief glimpse into this process, although a full blown lesson is Photoshop is best left for its own freestanding class.
