Find a fabulous location to paint
In my search for inspiration, I found a lot of flowers, from walking around in the town to residential areas and even by the roadside. I was extremely inspired by wild flowers like poppies and cornflowers! For this class I took a few days out in springtime to find a perfect location. I had something in mind: a perfect flower field with beautiful wild flowers, a quiet place to work and a painterly surrounding.
It turns out you don’t need an entire field at all! You don’t have to travel far, if at all! For those of you living with mobility issues, or with no easy acces to a garden or more rural areas, you could browse through your photo library or just in a book or an internet search engine, from which to gather inspiration… there is inspiration to be found everywhere, even in a humble bunch of flowers or a window box!
Flower studies with acrylic ink
Before we start our large canvas, we study our flower. We do various exercises to get to know our favourite flower and to improve our sketches. On top of that, we work with a brilliant material: acrylic ink.
Painting in a loose and impressionistic style
In the next part of the class we work on our main project: the flower field. I’ll guide you step-by-step: creating the first foundation, working out your composition, creating texture and layers and of course how to add your flowers!
You’ll learn:
- to create a collection of valuable photos and sketches of your flowers on location;
- various acrylic ink techniques;
- how to select your colour palette;
- how to work towards a strong composition;
- the secrets of using the roller (or brayer) technique for the first foundation of the painting;
- to paint your flowers step by step, from rough to more detailed;
- to create art with a loose, impressionistic and playful style;
- how to bring in more depth in your paintings, by using shadow and light;
- how to complete a sparkling, cohesive and balanced flower field.

“Hello I’m Leslie :) I live in Vancouver Washington and I am so glad I found Luz Studio! My favorite subject is flowers and mixed media is my favorite way to use them! Fantasy Flowers was so much fun.
I also purchased ‘Pattern Playing’ and I can’t wait to start with the mixed media class about angels. Thank you so much for the class, Luz!”
