Learn to paint Crape Myrtles. They are the last flowers of sprint. A pallet of colors, from white to pink to lilac and deep magenta. They feel up our yards with big delightful blooms all through summer to autumn.
This is a simple painting for a beginner artist. You will learn the basics of color mixing, blending and texture.
