This course from my BEGINNING ACRYLICS SERIES is all about creating florals in a painterly style.

In this class, designed for beginners in acrylic painting, I demonstrate my approach to painting 'loosely' by building a bouquet of flowers lesson by lesson with a canvas, craft paint and a brush.

Just like a florist creating a bouquet, I'll start with a main flower, in this case a classic rose, and then flower by flower I'll add to the arrangement additional florals and greenery until the canvas is blooming with blossoms that will last forever!

You will learn:

how to blend and mix colors from basic paint colors
how values help create a three-dimensional look
a variety of brush techniques used in acrylic painting
my step-by-step painting process for painting loosely
how to paint your signature on your artwork with a brush
how to frame your work if you're on a budget

and lots of tips and tricks I've learned in my many years

as a professional decorative painter!

This course is great for you if:

You are just starting out in acrylic painting
You are a seasoned painter and would like to explore another approach to painting with acrylics
You like to paint for enjoyment and to keep up your skills

You'll need some materials before starting:

Canvas, craft paint, brushes, palette, water, paper towels, and a couple other things. For the entire list, you can view and download the handy Supply List by going to the Projects and Resources Tab. There you'll also find several Reference Photos and other helpful resources for taking this course.

The best way to build skills as an artist is by painting regularly and often, so I'll be adding other classes as often as I can to this BEGINNING ACRYLICS SERIES. Follow me to be the first to hear when additional classes are available. You can find the green Follow button next to my name above this video.

You can also find me on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, too! See my profile page for more about me.

Let's paint together - I'm looking forward to meeting you,

Brigitte

Also in my BEGINNING ACRYLICS SERIES is my class called, BEGINNING ACRYLICS: Introduction to Acrylics and the Painting Process and it's another good class for the very beginner in acrylic painting.
