Hi Everyone! I’m guessing you love to paint flowers as much as I do!
In my video tutorial, I show you the easiest way to paint abstract flowers on canvas with acrylic paint! This tutorial is for beginner level artists. It is super easy to follow even if you have never painted before. I will walk you through my whole painting process step by step. I show you how I create a simple sketch of my composition, how I draw my sketch onto my canvas using pastels, how I block in my colors, add layers, and finishing details that make my painting really pop!
