Garden Club Tulip

9x5 acryics on Canson 140 lb cold press paper, done last weekend for a WetCanvas.com challenge of using your nondominant hand, a toothbrush, and a palette knife (with acrylics), any subject. I chose a red tulip but quickly made it a variegated white and red one with the toothbrush. Palette knife used mostly to smooth the mixed green colors. Not too bad but it helps to be ambidextrous as well. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026
