Acrylic Flower Painting

I love painting flowers. When I started painting with acrylic paint, I would find artists on YouTube that offer tutorials.

Check out The Art of John Magne Lisondra on YouTube. He is a great instructor for all levels of painting. John offers a detailed video on how to paint the flower above, among others.

This acrylic painting took me a few hours to do. John is excellent in instructing on how layering acrylic paint creates depth. This art lesson also taught me a bit of patience too, that’s for sure!

I highly recommend his videos of you are just starting to learn to paint with acrylics. John is a great teacher!

Acrylic Pouring Art

Acrylic pouring can be a lot of fun, or incredibly frustrating if you don’t get it right. This one, I got right!

I used Golden acrylic paint in primary colors and swiped in a downward motion on the canvas. The key is not to “F” with them once you swipe….otherwise, you get mud (i.e., all the colors blend and turn brown).
