Learn How I Paint Over My Old Ugly Canvas Paintings | Step by Step Abstract Flower Painting Tutorial

Learn how to paint over your old ugly canvas paintings!

If you have old canvases with ugly paintings, don’t throw them away! I’m going to show you how I paint over my old canvas artwork with acrylic paint. If you like to paint, you probably have a pile of failed paintings sitting in a corner somewhere. I felt like it was a huge waste of money to just throw them away and one day I decided to see if I could give them a floral make over and it worked!

In this class I show you how I take my old canvas paintings and paint loose abstract flowers over them. You’d never know there was another painting underneath!

This is a beginner friendly painting tutorial. You get to see every brush stroke from start to finish!
