Ready to let go, trust your intuition, and see what unfolds?
Adopt a spontaneous, bold, and fearless approach to painting as a process of discovery-one that results in lush and colorful finished works that will beg to be displayed.
An inspiring and encouraging guidebook enjoyed by both novice and experienced painters alike. This unique approach to painting is based on the notion that you don’t need to begin with a preconceived painting in mind. Instead, you can allow your paintings to unfold organically over time through bold mark-making, experimentation with color, and a curious mind. You can read the first two chapters here.
Reader Review
More ReviewsThis is her first book I have, but it will not be my last. I'm not sure why I am so late to Flora's party... I am an artist who is taking a long course in abstract & bold painting, and I came across this as a support for my process. I am so happy that I listened to my intuition and ordered it. Flora and her book are like a warm hug of encouragement in my process now.

I got this book during very challenging period of my life. I had always wanted to explore painting but had a block.

Flora uses beautiful personal stories, sharing her wise and creative ways to navigate the challenges of life, while shifting your view on the what, why and how of creativity. The book was my guiding light in transforming deep sorrow into healing creativity.
