Dawn Beasley
This artist paints her seedpods quite realistically, with fairly realistic colours but also a splash of colour in them. She also uses more abstract colours and painting techniques in the background, contrasting colours and textures. It'd be great to go quite big with this painting style!

Manok Cohen
This artist uses a lot of texture in his paintings, with bright, colourful, contrasting backgrounds and more experimental painting techniques. Good for all abilities! and could be really fun when painting clay in this style.

Georgia O'Keeffe
She paints flowers but you could work in her style by zooming into your object and making it quite abstract by looking up close at it. You could also take inspiration from her colour schemes and painting techniques and apply them to seedpods.

Erik Gonzales
This artist uses mixed materials to create his paintings. A combination of paint, printmaking and pen etc, as well as including texture in his work. He usually has multiple objects or different angles of the same object on one page. This technique could be interesting when painting clay!

Van Gogh
Van Gogh is famous for using little dashes to create his paintings. The result of this technique is a textured finish - look at the close up section on the right! Choosing this artist would be good if you'd like a slightly abstract approach to painting seedpods, and will be good for painting your clay work. Good if you're not keen on blending!
