At some point in my life, I had a regular office job and eventually a “bore-out”. I saved myself quitting the job and retreating into Hindu and Buddhist philosophy. A 2 year stay in an Ashram(Yoga&Meditation retreat) followed. This altered not just my worldview and my beliefs but also influenced the way I express myself in art.
PAINTING FLOWERS IMPRESSIONIST STYLE
In this course I am going through teaching different acrylic techniques starting with the background, passing through different layers and ending up with the main character of the painting, the majestic flowers.
You will be able to express your feelings and emotions through colors and generate an impressionist-style floral painting featuring your favorite color palette. The flowers are loosely painted with bright and warm hues like yellow, orange, or pink, against a background of cold colors foliage.
