Overview
  • How to Paint Loose Abstract Flowers with Acrylic Paint on Canvas for Beginners!

    This class is for beginner level artists.  I start off the class by showing you our model painting.  I show you all of the supplies you need for the class (also listed below).  Then I walk you through my painting process step by step.  I show you how I start my flower paintings by creating a simple sketch on my canvas.  Next, how I block in my paint colors, and how I build my layers to finish off my painting.  I also teach you the techniques I use to create loose abstract flowers.

    Here are my best tips for painting loose abstract flowers:
    1.  Paint with your non-dominant hand!
    2.  Use a larger brush but shorter paint strokes.
    3.  Don't even try to stay within the lines!
