To continue deepening in the technique of oil painting, we continue to provide you with some tips and tricks that will help you achieve the best results in your works. Today, focusing on botanical elements, we are going to show you how to paint small flowers in oil in 6 steps, using the example of a field of flowers. Here we go!<\/p>\n<p>Aspects to take into account before starting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Proximity of the element to be painted:<\/strong> the closer the flower is, the more detail and sharpness we should represent it, as opposed to if it is far away from our point of view. The farther away the image is, the more broken the tones will be, the more intense the colors will be as we get closer to it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Realism<\/strong>: in addition to proximity, we must take into account whether our idea is to represent something realistic or more figurative, in order to reflect a greater or lesser level of detail.<\/li>\n<li>As always, before starting to paint, we must <strong>observe very well the characteristics<\/strong> of the floral species we have chosen, so that the result adapts as much as possible to the real image.<\/li>\n<li>When representing a set of flowers, we must <strong>play with the different positions and turns<\/strong>, as well as reflect the closeness or remoteness of each element, through the application of different tones, sizes and level of detail.<\/li>\n<li>When working with oil, we must remember that we are going to apply the <strong>&#8220;fat over lean&#8221;,<\/strong> so the first layers will be more diluted in turpentine, to increase the level of pigment concentration as we progress. We will leave the details for the end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5db7bb9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5db7bb9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to paint small flowers step by step<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-03b6964 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"03b6964\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As an example, to explain how to paint a field of flowers step by step.
