An acrylic painting of two poppies. A red one on the left, and a purple one on the right. A subtle green foliage backdrop makes the poppies stand out.

We will remember them.

An acrylic painting for #Remembrance.

Want to learn how I paint flowers like this?
Join me live on my Twitch page in an hour and a half (2pm BST) when I’ll be hosting an hour long paint along session!

An acrylic painting of two rose buds unfurling in dappled morning light. One is more unfurled than the other, and is glowing brightly against a dark backdrop of leaves.

Do you ever pause to enjoy a flower unfurling in the morning light?

Painting a smol acrylic painting today twitch.tv/jamesbbarrow

An acrylic painting of a bright white rose. It is glowing, with half of it illuminated from behind by the light of the setting sun. The other is lit by the cool ambient light of the sky. It stands out starkly against a backdrop of dark leaves and stems.

For those who love seeing flowers glow in the setting sun.
I saw this Iceberg rose glowing in golden hour and could not resist painting its visage!

I changed the way I work a couple of months ago to follow this advice, it made a big difference and my productivity went up by miles.

(I don't know who made this image, if you do, let me know so they can be credited)
