HOW TO PAINT A LOTUS FLOWER | Acrylic paint lesson for beginners | PINK LOTUS FLOWER tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- In this step by step acrylic paint tutorial I teach you how to paint a pink lotus flower. As in all of my tutorials we will work with a limited palette using only the three primary colors plus white. This keeps the lesson simple and easy to follow along with when learning how to mix colors.
I would be so grateful if you subscribed to my channel!!
I would also love to hear from you. Questions, advice, tips to share, requests for other tutorials....anything you have on your mind! Please leave me a comment. And I will respond back. :)
If you've ever painted along with me, PLEASE send me pics! I would loooove to see them. I may even showcase them at the end of one of my videos, if you're okay with that. If you prefer that I don't mention your name or show your photo, just let me know. You can tag or message me on instagram or Facebook @DebbieAvouxStudio or email me at DebbieAvoux@yahoo.com .
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!!!
Have an amazing day!
Debbie :)

LOVE THIS PAINTING AND THE PATIENCE YOU TAKE TO SHOW US EXACTLY HOW TO DO IT. cAN YOU PLEASE SHOW US A TUTORIAL ON A BOAT ROPE IN A RIVER SCENE? YOU USUALLY HAVE IT AS ONE OF YOUR BACKGROUND PAINTINGS. THANK YOU.
Thanks Sunny. That one is on my list! :)
I miss your music. It was so therapeutic and calming. Loved listening to it while watching your videos.
I’m sorry, I had more complaints than compliments that it was distracting. :/
@@DebbieAvouxStudio I find that with Music the Mind and body relaxes and the brush strokes flow and it shows in the painting.... Do what makes you Happy😊
I just found your channel and love your pqinting style and teaching method ❤
Great to see you back Hun. Love this painting and seeing your wonderful studio!! Don't worry about repeating yourself as it really helps to remember stuff.. thank you for being such a super teacher!!!🌸🌸🌸
Thank you so much Julie 😘
Hi Debbie, I found your rendition of the "lotus flower" to be the most beautiful and helpful one I have seen. I been to Thailand and this the background color is what the ocean looks like. I am going to create something similar to this painting in oil painting. I am going to add a sky in a tropical color too. I really love your lily pads too as they are easy to do but have a lot of different shades of color.
It is so wonderful to have you back Debbie. I look forward to trying many more of your paintings. Have a merry merry Christmas.
Your friend Bobby
Merry Christmas to you too Bobby!!
@@DebbieAvouxStudio and to you Debbie. and the kids

Hi again Debbie !! Welcome !! I ´ve a question. The size of the canvas !! I´ve seen so much videos from you !! Maybe this year, yes 2020, I´ll start painting your pictures !!! Thank you for sharing
your art !!!
Oh I thought I had mentioned the size of the canvas. It’s a 12”x12”
Hi Debbie...Was so happy to see a new video . I look forward to see more. Whatever you come out with will be fun to watch, and do. Happy holidays to you and your family. Best wishes for 2021!!
Thank you for your support Shelly!
Omg Yaayyy. I have been staring at that picture since the day I discovered you. Lotus is my favorite flower. (I'm also Buddhist so I am living for this tutorial. Thank you so much. 🥰🥰🥰
Oh that’s awesome. Thank you so much for your support.
Hi Debbie! You were great! This wasn’t easy on you but you were a really good teacher. I liked that everything didn’t look perfect and you kept going and made it wonderful! I love flowers and I am an amateur but love painting anyway! 👏👏👏😍
Haha I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Nancy 😘
Hi Debbie, what equipment/software do you use for your live tutorials? Thank you
I haven’t done any live tutorials yet. But I use iMovie for my edited tutorials.
Great everything! You had me laughing…one because I am similar to you and when you said, “my palette is a disaster” haha 😂 yet, you do great! And Poet’s sounds ha ha
Haha I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😀
Welcome back! I love watching your tutorials and am excited to see them in real time. If you ever have the time, I'd love to request a painting of a mountain or some kind of forest scene. :)
That sounds like a great idea! I’ll add that to my list.
Glad to see you're back, and thanks for doing this one!! I just finished it. I had a bit of a struggle with being satisfied with my blending on the flower petals but I finally had to stop and back off. I'd love it if you did a hummingbird on a flower tutorial!
I will add that to my list of future tutorials! Thanks 😊
Amazing Can you please make more palm tree tutorials
Sure! I’ll add that to my list
I absolutely love this video. Easy to fallow and super relaxing. Would love the next video maybe with a sea turtle ?
That’s a great idea, thanks! I’ll add that to my list. 😀
So very beautiful! I love it😍
Would it look allright to do it combined with the Koi fish one on the same painting, or would the angle be weird?
I think that's a great idea! I would love to see a pic when you're done. :)
Lovely video .. wc bk. I learned a lot in yr previous videos.
Love yr doggy a lot.
Thanks! I’m so glad it was helpful! 😀
Love this💕Thank you for being a wonderful reacher
Thank You!!
Welcome back! That was great would like to do a peony if possible 😊
I actually have that on my list!😀

Hi Bobby! Thanks so much!!
@@DebbieAvouxStudio your very welcome. And I am so happy to see you doing what you do best. well I may be happy to see your beautiful smile too. lol lol . but it's nice to have you back you are my inspiration.
Bobby.
Love your paintings. Can you use watercolor pens to draw the initial drawing instead of a pencil?
Absolutely!!
I have started painting a Japanese Silkie chicken and cherry blossoms but I don’t know how to finish the Silkie. If I send a pic of it (privately) can you maybe do a tutorial for it? You are such an awesome teacher!
Thank you! Sure, send me a pic of the Silkie 😀 debbieavoux@yahoo.com
@@DebbieAvouxStudio 😘
2 weeks ago I tried to paint a Lotus Flower and Waterlilies and I could not find a full step tutorial! I wish I could have this one that time! It is amazing to see you back! Beautiful painting as always! Thank you Debbie! 😍😍😍
Thanks so much Camilla. Sorry I didn’t get it out sooner for you. :/
@@DebbieAvouxStudio oh no worries! Not your thought hahaha. I was excited for you to come back, it feels good!
Do you have a picture of the Lotus painting we can print for reference? Love this painting!!
I don’t have a picture of it but maybe you could just take a screenshot of it from your phone and print from that??
Just shared...hopefully more ppl will come
I really appreciate that Beth. Thank you! 🙏🏻😊
I am so excited to create this. What size of canvas did you use for the lotus?
I’m sorry, I thought I had mentioned the size canvas. It’s a 12”x12”
Thank you - well done!! Love the way you detail each step.
Thank you. I appreciate your feedback 😘
Beautiful!
Btw...I miss your music! ❤️
Awww I’m sorry.
Thank you so much was waiting dincr long time
Thank you for your support! 😊
i dont have acrylic paint but i do have normal paints is it ok?
What do you mean by “normal” paints? Unless you’re talking about poster paint, chances are they’re probably acrylics if you use water to wash them off of your brushes. ;)
Do you find that softer or firmer brushes blend better?
Definitely softer brushes!
That amazing ❤️
Thank you 😊
amazing
So lovely❤
I'm so glad to see that you're back
Thank you so much Bette!
So beautiful painting 👍
Love it, thank you very much 💖
Yay! I’m so glad. 😀
Oh...I was so glad to see so many more views & thumbs up than the only 2 that were there when I jumped on...I immediately shared on FB news...
This was not too long...I loved the doggie slurping sounds...& his burp was priceless! My 7lb yorkie,Chewey, burps in my face sometimes & it just about drops me!!!....at 1st I thought the background noise was ocean waves...crashing into the shore w an occasional big loud 1 but then as show continued I realized it was cars...when I heard a particularly noisy souped up one go by...no biggie tho. Didn't drown you out. I kinda missed your music but I realize that it bothered some...I am putting the finishing touches on a 16x20 Christmas themed painting right now but am going to jump on this the very next thing.
As far as something I would like to try...have you show...
1. Scottish Thistle...wild in a field along a weathered wooden fence(I was watching Hannah Montana...the Movie...w my 7yr old granddaughter & there was a scene early in the movie in the horse pasture in Tenn where the thistle were taller than the fence...if you wanted to catch a glimpse of it...maybe 20 min into movie)
2. I would love an old shingled lobster shanty wall that has a white paned window in it that has a buncha buoys hanging down...
Ha Ha...just saying...had a cpla ideas!!
Anyways my friend...so good to see you again...was thrilled following your murals...maybe even a series on some fun cacti!!!✌...👍...🤙.
You responded to my video immediately after I posted it so you must have been one of the very first to see it.
Thank you for your wonderful support and all of the great tutorial suggestions. I have always wanted to paint a bunch of colorful buoys. I took some pics of some the last time I was in Rhode Island with my boyfriend with plans to do just that. So I’ll try and find those. I think that would be a great one.
I’ll have to look up the thistle. Sounds pretty. I’ve had a lot of requests for some succulent tutorials so I do plan to do some of those as well! Thank you.
Glad the background sounds weren’t “too” distracting lol. I wish those were ocean waves crashing! Haha ....one day....😀
@@DebbieAvouxStudio I'm not sure where I was in line as far as viewers go but I do know I was #2 in thumbs upping!! I did share this tutorial & will continue to do so w ea tutorial you post...I can't wait to see your buoy decision...I lived in Florida since mid 80s up until Sept last year & always lived extremely close to the ocean(Lived in Key Largo for 23 yrs & Jensen Beach the rest)...I saved every buoy I found & a boat capt friend of mine would tie them some how weaving a cut end of rope into a long line one making one 30-40' buoy garland that I hung on my outside fence...it was 1 of my prized possessions...I would put hooks,bobbers,lures...whatever cool little things I found on beach...hooking them into the buoys...Sadly...during a mandatory hurricane evacuation when I was away from home the winds took the fence out & buoy line was nowhere to be found. I do believe someone took it because it was long enough to get tangled up in tree's but...I never did see it again.I had found 1 of those huge netted green glass Japanese buoys in the surf on a beach in Ft.Lauderdale once...netting all covered w barnacles...I used to have it hanging from a tree in my front yard but after loss of buoy line...I hung it inside...that'd be a cool thing to paint...the ball itself is about 14" w a heavy corded netting over it...maybe I'll see if you have a FB site & shoot you a pic. Anyways...rambling a bit...hope you have a happy laughter filled holiday season & that the new year brings you & your family... good health,fortune & happiness🤙
@@bethmulligan2588 oh wow, that buoy line sounds amazing. I am so sorry you lost it. 😢
My boyfriend is an avid sailor and knows all about tying lines together. I’m sure he would totally relate to this.
But this does sound like a beautiful idea to paint. You can send me pics to fb or email to @debbieavouxstudio or email debbieavoux@yayoo.com
@@DebbieAvouxStudio hey...you should start collecting any buoys you find & have him weave them together to make your own buoy line...maybe date ea 1 & location as well...would make great memory piece...will address to my contacts...anxiously looking forward to next video...just letting you know thinking of you & ...hoping new year brings love & light into your world...til then...
@@bethmulligan2588 thanks Beth! Happy New Year to you!
GREAT JOB!!! LOVED THIS VIDEO.

Beautiful! Thank you
Thank U! 😀

Awesome Ma’am 😍😍😍
Thank-you. I like watching you mix colors and appreciate that you keep your color scheme simple and easy to follow. When artist use alot of different colors i can easily get lost. I like to mix my own as well. I appreciate you talking about paints for murals. I could easily see this design as a mural.
Thanks Rosalie! So glad this was helpful for you! 😀
