One of my favorite "new" surfaces to paint on, are vintage ceiling tins. I'm fascinated by their history and the special architectural details that each one has.
For this piece, I started out by adding a distressed border around the edges, making a frame for the rose. The outer edge in light blue, the inside edges are pale lavender. I put on a soft background of blue for my rose and once the design was started, I made some soft shadow leaves in the background. When the flowers, buds and leaves were finished, I added stems with some thorns going underneath the back of the main artwork.
My Pink Rose is done in acrylics and measures 12" x 12". It is available on my ETSY shop:
