Sweet little daisies are some of my favorite flowers to draw and paint 🌼 So much better if you can turn them into a gift! A video of this project is at the end of this post, if you'd like to watch the overview. Otherwise, let's get started!
For this project, we will need the following:
- acrylic paint pen of your choice. I used Posca paint pens in White, Yellow, Dark Green, Apple Green, Khaki Green, and Gray. You can always use regular acrylic paint if that's what you have
- small, clean glass jar or other vessel
Start by making a line for the main stem with a medium green color. Add leaves coming off the stem. You can leave some of the stems empty at the top for daisy blooms. Do this all the way around the jar. Once dry, use your light green color to add some center lines on the leaves.
Next, we'll add the daisies. Using white, make a small dot for the center of the blooms and draw your petals outward from there. Fill in your petals. Space these out around the jar on top of your green stems/leaves.
Using your gray color, add some lines for dimension and shading onto your petals. Keep in mind that they would be darkest at the center. Don't overdo it - less is more. Once that is dry, use yellow to add the centers of the daisies.
For a final touch, use your very darkest green - or even brown or black - to add extra contrast and shading around the yellow centers. I made mine in dotted lines to add a bit of texture. And there you have a sweet little daisy jar! Perfect for filling with treats for a friend.
