How to Paint Abstract Flowers with Acrylic Paint: Bright, Bold and Loose Flowers Painting Tutorial

Welcome to my painting class, "Bright, Bold, and Loose Flowers:  How to Paint Abstract Flowers with Acrylic Paint!"

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! 

Materials used for this class:
paper/pen or pencil
10 x 10 inch canvas
pastels
palette paper (or a paper plate)
paint brushes
jars of water
paper towels
acrylic paints

I used the following Liquitex Basics colors:
Titanium white
Prussian blue
Light olive green
Cadmium medium yellow
Light blue permanent 
Turquoise blue
Bright aqua green
Portrait pink
Quinacridone magenta
Rose pink 
Brilliant purple
