Stunning !!!! May I ask what you use as a sealant to protect the picture!!! I’d like to make a Mother’s Day card on 140lb paper.

[@rosannecuttitta1377]

Love, love, love the technique. And the background music was happy making experience all the way around.

[@stephaniecorbett5356]

I have never heard of this technique before, I’ll definitely incorporate it into my paintings, thanks so much for showing us how to do it.

Please do!

[@barbaracarlson1331]

This is fun to do.

[@kathleensecules5591]

what kind of flowers did you use in the first arrangement?

[@irenewillms617]

Do the colors fade over time?

[@lekhanag]

Beautiful effects of the pigments ! What flowers are you using…the small yellow ones ?

[@ChristinasArtClasses]

They're known as primulas or polyanthus -all flowers work slightly differently but I think different coloured primulas are by far the easiest to get an effect from.

[@janinewoodhull3611]

May I ask what tool you were using to scrap off the smashed flower bits when you were done, please? T. Y.

[@Walua]

I think it is a paint brush

[@franstoeckel1615]

Do you need to seal the paper? Will it keep well? I really like this. Thank you so much. 🌼🌻❤

[@ChristinasArtClasses]

No need

[@barbaralarsen8184]

Christina, did you use watercolor paper?? Just wondering if it picks up the colors better..... Thank you. Great job.

[@ChristinasArtClasses]

Watercolour paper is stronger but any paper will take the transfer of colour.

[@debbiemutch4737]

Can you spray the finished picture with something to prevent it from fading?

[@ChristinasArtClasses]

Basically,it's the equivalent of a grass stain so best to frame your pic and keep it away from sunlight!

[@dalimadison7553]

Are they colorfast?

[@ChristinasArtClasses]

Kinda- have you ever tried getting grass stains out ?

[@dalimadison7553]
