Welcome to my shop. I'm Debbie Hipp, artist and owner of The Canvas Garden Studio. Inside you will find my original floral paintings on canvas and paper.  Why only flowers?  Well, I absolutely love them. They make people feel happy, are given in love and friendship, come in all shapes, sizes, colors and fragrances, and they make our living space feel more calm and beautiful.  These painted canvases have become a colorful cultivated garden to perhaps brighten someone's day. 

MY ART PROCESS: I paint in multiple layers of colors, starting with the transparent hues, then gradually adding opaque colors, making sure to leave some of the underpainting shining through. This technique creates rich and luminous colors that I love so much. Would you like to learn more? Continue exploring and enjoy!

Primary Summer Trio is a combination of three acrylic painting tutorials based on a favorite summer flower and a different primary color. By focusing on each flower separately, you are able to learn the differences in color variations and mixtures, how light and shadow are affected by petal shapes, how negative space is painted to create softer or faded edges, how to create the differences in leaf shapes and colors, how to choose background colors, and how to approach painting the textures of each plant container. You'll come away with three unique pieces to save as a collection or to give away as gifts!
