Oriental Lillies

I have a client this weekend who wants a tiger Lilly on her face. I've never painted one. Anyone have experience painting thus type of flower?

If you look here there are some videos on how to paint them...http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+painttiger+lily&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&client=firefox-a&oq=how+to+painttiger+lily&aq=f&aqi=g-b1&aql=&gs_l=serp.3..0i8.15281l17785l0l19182l12l12l0l0l0l2l143l1162l9j3l12l0.frgbld.

This one is made with a flame cake and black. I found it when I searched for tattoo patterns:


The next pictures are a step-by-step of a pink tiger lily:
Load a #8 filbert on the pink and white stripes of your berry cake and make the top and two side view "wing" petals. You do this by doing a regular half petal at the top but then just smoothing out the bottom: (I had to redo these first two photos so they'll look a little different)

Now add the top three petals. Make them a little bigger than the bottom ones:

Add a bud out to the side. Load yellow from your snake or leaf cake and shoot teardrops out from the center. Add a couple of yellow stripes on the bud to tie it together with the flower:

(Detail of bud):

Now load the bright green from your leaf or snake and draw in stems and leaves. The leaves shoot out in threes from a node on the stem. Put in stamen stalks in the middle of the flower:

Load a mixture of red and purple from your berry cake on a small round and top the stamen stalks:

Wipe your brush off on a towel or paper towel until there is a just a little color left and shade the back leaves so they recess:

Now load your round again and make very tiny dots on the petals and taper them out as you get farther from the center:

Load white on a small round and starting at the tip make a small teardrop and shoot it toward the center and VERY LIGHTLY outline the petal:

The front petals should have a thicker outline and the bottom petals should taper off where the shading starts:


The same instructions would work for a flame/dragon cake also but I would use yellow for the stamen stems and to tip and outline. You would use red and black in a dragon cake for the dots.

I like looking at tattoo flowers for ideas on clustering and shading.

Here's a flame cake one:

Very pretty.

Amazing! Totally doing this!

Thank you, Denise. I will have to try these lilies, too.

Denise, your tutorials and sbs are always so helpful. Thank you!

thanks so much Denise

Thanks! I'm glad you guys like it. I'm thinking with bigger brushes would make a nice pregnant belly.

Yes, Denise, Daizy has a great belly painting (as always ) with those lillies right here:
