How to Finish a Painting
I often hear people say that FINISHING their intuitive paintings is the hardest part of the process.
And I totally get it.
You might start out joyfully dancing your color across the canvas with wild free abandon, but at some point your painting turns into a confusing mess.
Sound familiar?
If you’re nodding your head in agreement, you’re not alone. In fact, this is the number one struggle I hear from my students.
I would LOVE to help you all with this, so in this week’s Hey Flora episode, I’m offering up a few helpful tips about finishing intuitive paintings.
Enjoy!
