I have a flower painting class available online called “How to Paint Abstract Flowers with Acrylic Paint: Bright, Bold and Loose Flowers Painting Tutorial” The class is on Skillshare and the entire class takes about 45 minutes to watch. I attached some screen shots below so you can see my process.

In this class I will teach you my process for painting loose abstract flowers. I start off the class talking about composition and colors. Then I walk you through my painting process step by step. I show you how I begin by sketching my compostion onto my canvas and how I layer my colors to create a loose and varied look.
Painting loose can be tough. Here are my best tips for success when painting loose and abstract!
1. Paint with your non-dominant hand.
2. Hold the paint brush at the very top.
3. Don't ever try to paint within the lines!
