Learn to paint loose and expressive poppy flowers in acrylics and mixed media. We'll use several painting techniques such as layering and mixed media mark-making.

Join me in todays video where I'll paint a loose and abstract painting of poppies in acrylics with mixed media details. I love flowers and poppies are some of my favorites. Poppy flowers are both fragile and strong at the same time - and they usually only last for a day - at least where I live I northern Denmark. If you pick them and take them inside they petals will fall off. So to make them last longer I like to paint them. Another way to make the beauty and joy last longer is to - and I LOVE THIS - cut out these small paintings and use them as cards or postcards…. Some of my students have commented that these floral paintings remind them of art by Walasse Ting or Marc Chagall - and I'm honored that they think so.
