Each session guides you through the full process of a new painting, from the first brush strokes (or finger swipes!) to the final touches. Along the way, I share my thoughts, struggles, breakthroughs, and favorite techniques via voice-over, giving you insight into the “why” and “how” behind my Brave Intuitive Painting process.
If you could use a little support starting out, choosing palettes, developing compositions, working with images, exploring abstraction, making bold choices, moving through frustration, staying inspired, and bringing a painting together, this is for you.
In each Session, you’ll find videos showing the creation of a new painting (or paintings) from start to finish. with voice-over insights that capture the in-studio workshop experience.

A beautiful example of playful painting. I revisit favorite tools in new ways to discover shapes and motifs, with reflections on how life experiences are mirrored through the painting process.

Starting with colors I don't normally use, I explore the importance of staying open to big changes, while simultaneously making strong commitments as the painting develops.

Beginning with the traditional layering process from my Bloom True E-Course, this session explores separating warm and cool colors, navigating the "awkward teenager" phase, and letting your palette emerge naturally.

Watch a struggle unfold: painting without blue, using only potato stamps for new shapes, and finding inventive ways to move through discomfort and creative blocks.

1+ hr of Videos
A fun shift from the last six sessions; experimenting with watercolor, ink, graphite, collage, acrylic, and markers to create three mixed media paintings.

Learn how to mix up by embracing creative limitations. I gave myself specific parameters: a limited palette, the human figure + the written word. A beautiful exploration of how constraints can open unexpected new directions.

Breathe new life into unfinished paintings. I take two neglected canvases and reinvent them, inviting change and staying present to the evolving story of your canvas.
EPISODE TEN
1+ hr of Videos
Stepping out of my comfort zone by embracing pure abstraction; no flowers, figures, plants, or animals. A playful exploration of color, mark-making, value, and form, revealing just how freeing creative limitations can be.

Combining family letters, photos, stencils, and creative studies with acrylic paint, I weave together a large-scale mixed media piece on wood panel.

A special final episode. I created a 'Painting Prompts' game to guide the process. Watch the painting evolve through many surprising transformations + download the PDF of prompts to play along at home.
COURSE TESTIMONIALS
Kind and Inspiring Words.
“The Painting Sessions is an inspiring educational experience. It’s fascinating watching a painting develop and the way Flora explains her choices helps you to understand the painting itself, but is also incredibly useful when thinking about your own practice and experiences making art. I always leave off watching feeling refreshed and inspired, and looking forward to the next one!”
“When I am feeling lost and empty like a blank canvas, I turn a Painting Session on. Flora helps me to tune into my intuition, move through fear, and gives me the tools to heal my soul and be brave. She encourages me to explore many paths (with colors, brushes, lines, values, contrast, marks, images...), listening to my heart and trusting my intuition. Flora gives me the map to express myself and love myself as unique.”
“Through Flora’s Painting Sessions, I have learned to let go of any attachment to outcome or what something looks like and have truly embraced the intuitive process. I’ve also learned new techniques and skills. I’m a newer painter and these Sessions have been extremely helpful and I highly recommend them!”
“Flora’s videos are so inspiring. I can’t wait for the Painting Sessions to come out each month and I literally watch the entire thing immediately. I’m always inspired to paint afterward and there is usually a technique or piece of her process that I try to incorporate into my own painting discovery. The raw honesty of her process is so insightful and hearing her speak about why she did what she did in the painting is invaluable.”
“These Painting Sessions are fun and relaxed yet you’re being taught the fundamentals of a very personal art practice. In these Sessions, you will learn the elements and principles of design that make an art piece work.”
“Really enjoying watching the videos. They are informative and give a large array of methods, marks, color combinations and inspiration. Always feel like getting to my studio to start painting after watching them.”
