Acrylic 3D ROSES AND FLOWERS

[ChelsBeauty]

Hi all

I have been recently been practicing at my 3D roses and flowers but have be struggling.
I'm using Ezflow L&P and there grand artist 508 brush... i have watched all the you tube videos and tutorials but my roses/flowers just don't look like what there meant to be!

Also when i do the the leaves i cannot get the very fine detail of the vines with my brush? what else could i use ?

Please can you give me all the tips and advice you have

Thank you

You can get Artistic Design brushes from your EzFlow supplier, the pink/peachy coloured one in my opinion is the best for doing petals and leaves. It has a great point for picking up small beads and using it a little flatter it is great to spread out your petals/leaves.

Hi ezflow stock a range of 3 brushes for fine detail work. I'm not surprised you can't achieve this with their fab 508! You can use other implements to get the veins, too.

What other tools would you recommend for the veins?

The purple one is fine too....just a little larger than the pink one.
To press the veins into a leaf....just wait until it is almost set ( the shine/gloss has faded on the bead) then press in the chisel end of a pusher to make the markings you want, or any kind of metal implement...I have a small thin spatula meant to stir my gels that I use for this.
