Step by step: How to paint mixed media flowers from imagination
July 13, 2018 2020-04-20 10:16In this class, you will learn all the steps in detail to paint a mixed media flower painting from your imagination. We will start from an abstract background in watercolor or liquid acrylic, then work intuitively from there.
Supplies list:
-Canvas or board if you want to work on yupo paper mounted on board. (I recommend a square size of about 12 x 12 inches to start with)
-Liquid acrylic paints, or inks or watercolor
-Markers or dipping pen and ink
- Nupastel in a dark color or graphite
- Rubbing or isopropyl Alcohol
- White acrylic
- optional: Markers, crayons, colored pencils, pastels....
- Krylon workable fixative
-A few brushes
-Varnish
If you are going to mount the yupo paper on board, you will also need extra heavy gel medium and a spatula or stiff brush.
