Peach-Leaved White Bellflower (Campanula persicifolia) - Preview

Hello, lovely painting people, this week we are painting a very soft white Bellflower, so less is more. This charming little flower is a real joy to paint. You only need some very simple washes mixed up and a lovely, steady hand.

The soft, silvery colours are lovely to paint. We capture the light by sandwiching it between all these beautiful, soft shades of shadow.

I'm using my size 4 brush all the way through this tutorial, with, of course, a little help from my small eradicator brush and my mixing brush.

This is a gentle lesson in soft washes, using our darkest tones to check the value (lightness or darkness) throughout the painting.

Wishing you sunshine, gentle rain, peace and happiness, and of course, some very precious painting time.
