One stroke painting...Easy and simple way

Hi all...

     One stroke painting is a fun and easy way that i learnt  through my greatest tutor ( the INTERNET... :) )...

for those of you out there who are new to this term ...lets get started . This is a form of painting usually done with a flat brush,angled brush or a round brush too. I'm a beginner in this art so i am still experimenting with the flat brush yet.

          The basic point is we load the brush with two different colours at the same time and then play with it for fabulous designs.

Let's get started... 

You will need a flat brush and acrylic colors. The pictures below depict the procedure but since I didn't have the pictures of brush loading I have downloaded it from the net.

The first pictur shows the flat brush and the choice of two contrsting colours.As in one stroke the beauty is enhanced by the contrasting colours itself.

 Now load the brush with two colours , one on each side as shown...(the colour of paints vary ...sorry for that)

Once you load the brush, stroke it back and forth as below so that the colours merge with each aother well. A well loaded brush will do half the job and is the critical part for the next steps.

Now let's see futher...the fun part begins.

lay your brush with with tip touching the surface, press it firm and turn it round....this makes your petal of a flower.

Practice is the key.Once you master it, go ahead and keep experimenting. many videos are available out there created by some really generous people for us to learn.

I will post some other step-wise pictures for making various designs out of this wonderful art of painting.

The same way...this is how a leaf can be painted. The first row showing one side of a leaf while the second row depicting how to do the second part of the leaf. Using these two strokes you can draw a full leaf, or a folded one, or a slightly curled leaf .

and the fun part is let your creativity go wild. For example I first did a flower in pink and then after it dried I overlapped it with a yellow flower giving it a different look.
