In this class I teach you how to paint large, loose flowers on canvas with acrylic paint. I show you how I mix my paint colors, how I sketch my composition onto my canvas, and add lots of layers to create large loose flowers on my canvas.
My painting classes are broken down into smaller tutorials and lessons so you can easily follow along step by step. I hope to give you some new ideas and teach you the easy acrylic painting techniques you need in order to create your own large floral painting!
