How to paint lavender
STEP ONE: Gather your supplies
Before you get started, gather up your supplies so you have everything within reach while you do make your lavender flower painting. The cardboard will be used for painting stems so it can be just a small piece ripped off a box lying around.
STEP TWO: Paint stems for your lavender painting
Time to start painting! Begin by dipping the edge of your cardboard into green paint and then applying it to the bottom half of your paper. You'll want to make sure to apply this vertically with a slight angle to it as shown below. This will be the stems for your q tip lavender painting.
STEP THREE: Paint lavender flowers
Next, use the q tips dipped in purple paint to paint flowers around the stems, starting from about halfway up. You'll want to add less dots at the top and more at the bottom to create a natural look to the lavender painting.
STEP FOUR: Finalise your lavender flower painting
