How To Paint Pansies

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

Pansies are some of the most beautiful flowers in the world. They have this simple design, yet such a beautiful appearance. I really enjoy painting pansies, but I was never really good at it. So, I took it upon myself to learn how to paint pansies, and help other interested people in doing so as well. I then studied numerous tutorials on the subject, and listed down some of the more interesting, and helpful ones.

There are two ways to paint a pansy. You can either opt for a watercolor approach, where the coloring will be a little less vibrant, but you have more scope of giving the whole artwork a serene and minimalistic look. Or, you can have the acrylic approach for a more vibrant, and colorful look.
