Take an experimental approach to creating abstract art with intuitive painter Flora Bowley. In this quick class, you’ll learn how to use nontraditional “tools” – like Gerber daises, mushrooms, and celery – to make unique marks with acrylic paint. Flora’s teaching style is equal parts eye-opening and fun, and her techniques will help you nurture a curious and open-minded approach to painting with acrylics.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 8 ½” x 11” paper or cardstock
- Acrylic paint in a variety of colors (Flora uses Golden Fluid and basic craft acrylic paints)
- Palette or palette paper (Flora uses a glass plate on cookie sheet)
- Water container
- Rags
- Organic materials to paint with, like celery, corn cobs, mushrooms, potatoes, peppers, pine needles, and flowers

Fun ideas. Loved the flower, and the hidden heart in the mushroom stem. Who knew?

Great stuff! I would have liked to see some finished artwork in which mark making has been incorporated.
