Hi everyone,

Here is Part 1 of the Geranium tutorial.

Part 2 is here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/84072540

Some of the techniques used in this painting:

wet on wet

wet on dry

glazing

creating a focal point by increasing/decreasing values

All of the files you need to complete the painting are attached below my message, including lots of progress photos of my painting. I hope you enjoy painting it.

Louise

PS: There are some beginner tutorials coming later in the month.

My tutorials are designed to help you on your creative journey. Any painting you create from a tutorial where I use my own reference photo is for personal use only. They can't be sold or entered into an art competition. I write on the Supplies Lists where the photos come from.

Permission is not given to paint any of my earlier paintings that are not tutorials because some of them are licensed. Also, a few of my earlier paintings were painted from photographs where I sought the permission of the photographer. The photographer gave me permission to use it, not others.

If I do a tutorial where I use another photographer's photo (eg from Pixabay or Unsplash) that is available for anyone throughout the world to download (copyright free) and use I’m happy for you to sell the paintings you create from the tutorial. I know art supplies are expensive, so it's good to be able to recoup the costs of supplies.

If I do a tutorial and I use a photo that I have paid for and downloaded from the website Wildlife Reference Photos in order for you to sell the painting you create from the tutorial you need to purchase and download the photograph yourself. This is in accordance with the Terms and Services of the Wildlife Reference Photo website.

If you share a finished painting on social media I would really appreciate it if you could link back to my account (be it on Facebook, YouTube or Instagram) and mention that you painted it in one of my tutorials. @louisedemasi

Thank you!

This is so beautiful Louise, and I can’t wait to try it!

So excited! I was just in the garden taking pictures of the geraniums! This will help so much! You have given me so many tools to be able to paint so much better! And I don’t know what we’d do without your knowledge! Thanks!

Vee

Thank you dear Louise for yet another beauty! Have been away for ages, but now ready and raring to go! XXX

Bonnie Williams

Been waiting for this one -- geraniums are my favorite!

Jane Holkema

Hi Louise, I was wondering what size of frame you use for your A3 paintings. Can you use pre-made frames or do you usually use custom made frames for your paintings. I really enjoyed painting this geranium! Thank you

Louise De Masi

Hi Jane, I usually go to the framer when I frame my paintings but we have standard A3 size frames here in Australia. If I buy a standard sized frame that's cheaper, I always replace the mat with an archival mat. The framer cuts them for me. Thank you!

Vee

I have not painted for quite a long time, but these beautiful geraniums make me so happy and excited - I just have to get to my paints and brushes. Thank you for these lovelies!

Cathy Gauci

I am having trouble opening up the tutorial - i am clicking on Geranium tutorial but nothing comes up - i have not used Patreon before so wondering if i need to go somewhere else to see it - any suggestions would be appreciated

Cathy Gauci

just to add to my first post - when i click on it - it just takes me to the top of the home page

Louise De Masi

Hi Cathy, Dom here. The image at the top of this page is the tutorial but sometimes the play arrow doesn't show up. Click on the Geranium image and the video will begin to play. If it doesn't, restart your computer and navigate back here. Let me know how you go.

Hey Louise, I'm starting already, I love geraniums!
