How to Create an Abstract Floral, the piece you'll build in class with Constantino Milan.

What you'll learn

The techniques you'll take home

01
Start with an underpainting

Begin with an expressive acrylic underpainting and build intentional composition from it.

02
Let the flowers emerge

Develop floral forms out of abstraction rather than rigidly outlining them from the start.

03
Mix and mark intuitively

Work intuitive color mixing, layered mark-making, and the interplay of loose gesture and refined detail.

04
Know when to stop

Learn the decision-making: when to add, when to simplify, and how to keep the painting's energy.
