It’s so much fun to show how an oil painting is built up and brought to life.

The first layer is a brown underpainting, serving as a guide to establish some initial shadows.
The second layer introduces color, though as you can see, it still looks quite flat and lacks detail.
In the subsequent layers, more color and detail are added—this is the moment the painting truly comes alive.
For me, the water droplets are what really make it come to life and give the painting a voice.

I’m still hard at work on it, so I’ll keep you updated on the progress.

I’m so excited! It is time to glaze the pinkish purple flower buds and give them an orange glow!

This is the largest painting I have created so far. Working on it gives me a wonderful feeling. I am already looking forward to the next stage, where I will make it even more realistic. Throughout the process, I encountered many learning opportunities that I can apply to my next painting to make it even better. Do you want to see the next step? Follow me ❤️

Here, I’m taking you through the process of bringing a green leaf to life so it looks real.

Since I paint with oils, I build the painting up in layers.
The first layer is a brown underpainting—you can’t see it right now, but I’ll show it in another post.
The second layer adds more color but still looks very flat, superficial, and dull.
The more layers you apply, the more the leaf comes to life, and that’s what you see here.

Does it all happen automatically and super fast?
Well, no.
I spent months thinking about how to approach it—which technique, which colors—retaking photos for reference, and finally just diving in and doing it.
I’m amazed at the result; I think it turned out really well!

This painting has a beautiful story.

A mother came to me with the question if I could make a painting for her daughter eighteen birthday.
When the mother, in her time became eighteen she got a painting from her parents and that tradition she wanted to be continuing.
How lovely is that!

This flower is the apple blossom and it’s a delicate beauty of representing the spring.
I focused on building up the light and shadow to give each bloom its own depth and dimension.
Swipe to see the process - from the first brushstroke to finished detail.
