Flowers on the Canvas

I found this artist by the name of Jan Ironside who is from the USA.  She creates these very heavy Impasto styled paintings that make the petals of her flower paintings feel like they are going to come off of the page.  I also love her colors, but what do you think?





What do you think about these?  I know some of you are not fans of flowers but what other things could you paint with this technique that would feel as life like as her flowers?

    These are pretty cool. You could have basketballs popping out at you. These are 3d looking

    I like this idea a lot. I love the way this artist makes their work come to life. The colors seem just a little too dull for me. But it's also very great and probably seeing these in real life would probably be more entertaining. I think that anything in nature could be used in this technique.

    i hate drawing flowers. i hate this type of art because it is so hard to find the dark areas for shading. i hate this and i never want to do it again

  18. CourtneyApril 2, 2013 at 8:19 AM

    i think these are so cool. But with all that paint i wonder how long it would take for the paint to try, considering how much she used. Also i love how the colors work on the petals by blending. I would most likely make a mess from this and i would haveto pay alot for more paint

  19. UnknownApril 3, 2013 at 7:38 AM

    i think it has a cool aspect to it. it would be more fun if you could draw your own thing and not flowers. it would be very tough to do, but look very cool in the end.

    i think it is pretty cool it uses alot of spring type colors to make it seem better i think if it used darker colors it wouldnt be as good. i think it looks cool even though i dont know what the style is. but if they can have fun and make a good living i say let them do it.

    I like these paintings, the petals look real they just pop out at you. The colors are very vibrant and look really pretty, the pink flower is my favorite. The paint looks very thick, the pink flower reminds me of frosting, makes me hungry. I like how she can paint flowers and turn it into something really pretty like that.

    I like painting flowers, and this technique really makes the flowers look realistic. it would also be a good way to paint trees or maybe even water. i would really like to try this way of painting.

    I absolutely love this artwork. I wish I could do something as realistic as this. You could probably paint some leaves with the same technique.

    I think these pictures are outstanding and would take a lot of time. You could do many different types of things. You are basically trying to make them look 3D.

    I personally like these flowers and the technique that they used. The artist uses a 3d effect. I would probably never try one of these even though it is cool.

    The flowers are really beautiful. They came out really colorful and bright. Looking at them reminds me of spring and warm weather. The technique used was really cool and different

    Mehh. Technique seems a little cheesy to me. Vibrant colors though!

  59. UnknownApril 28, 2014 at 8:44 AM

    This is a pretty cool technique. I honestly don't really like the flowers. It is a great way to shade with the thicker layers of paint. I don't think that I would be very good at this though.

  60. UnknownMay 4, 2014 at 6:04 PM

    this a different, but cool technique. it looks cool how the petals are, even though i would rather not have flowers. im sure this would take lots of talent, especially to get the right strokes

  61. UnknownMay 11, 2014 at 10:00 AM

    I think that this is a very poppy painting. It is 3D and allows it to make its own shadows to add dimension. I think that the colors are beautiful!

    I use pure oil paint and a palette knife . Dry to the touch 3 months, completely dry one year. I have tried acrylic just could get the depth. Thanks for noticing. Jan Ironside Art and Sixth Street Studio facebook. :)

    I'm not a huge fan of this type of art because there's no real skill to it. Anyone could make that if they had that type of paint, I think doing grass or something in front of a picture would look cool with this.

    I absolutely love the way the flowers come off the page. I've always wanted to try this method but I feel like it would take a lot of paint. Theses are very beautiful and maybe a mountain scene would look cool

    How in the world does someone do something like this? It looks sort of like whip cream. It is so cool.
