How to Paint Rain Drops
My gift to you this Holiday Season is a video demo on how to paint rain drops (or Hawaiian snow) on a red hibiscus using watercolors.
This technique can be used on just about any flower. First, finish painting the flower including any shading and highlights. Second, make sure it is dry. Next, start the rain drop technique I demonstrate in the video to create lovely, three dimensional rain drops.
Aloha and Mahalo!

I recently taught a few silk painting classes and was really impressed with what my students painted. The above photos are all paintings by my students and many of them have never painted on silk before. Silk painting is so much fun, and I really enjoy teaching it. Mahalo to my students for such lovely work!!!!!!
For more information on my classes, please visit: http://www.kauaiartclasses.blogspot.com/
My next silk painting class will be on Friday, December 10 from 11am-2pm at my Waimea, Kauai studio, Painting Paradise.
Aloha and Have a Great Day,
Marionette
