THE PAINTING SESSIONS

Watch a painting come to life with step-by-step guidance!

DO YOU LEARN BY WATCHING?

You’re in the right place!

There’s something magical about watching a painting come to life, and I’m thrilled to offer you a front-row seat to this mesmerizing experience.

Each lovingly crafted Painting Session includes a series of professionally shot videos to give you an up-close view of my painting process. From the first brush strokes (or finger swipes as the case may be), through all my radically shifting layers (and dance moves), up to my finishing touches, each Painting Session gives you an intimate and educational glimpse into the creation of a brand new painting (or paintings).

To give you even more insight into the ‘why’ and ‘how’ behind my Brave Intuitive Painting process, each video is also accompanied by a voice-over track where I share my honest thoughts, struggles, breakthroughs, and favorite new tricks along the way.

Last but not least, you’ll also receive a fresh new music playlist in every episode to keep you moving and grooving during your own painting sessions at home.

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, The Painting Sessions are for you!

Flora is not only a talented painter, she is a generous teacher. She actively helps others find and activate creative expression. This is her most far-reaching gift.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are The Painting Sessions?

The Painting Sessions is an online offering featuring fresh videos to demonstrate the creation of a new painting from start to finish. Professionally shot in my studio, the videos include insightful guidance and reflections via voice-over guidance.

How are The Paintings Sessions different from Studio Diaries and the Bloom True E-Course?

Each monthly Painting Session focuses entirely on the creation of one new painting from start-to-finish. 

The Bloom True E-Course offers five weeks of in-depth teaching of my Brave Intuitive Painting, including daily prompts, creative exercises, interviews with other artists, philosophy, and ways to incorporate what you learn into your life off the canvas.  

Studio Diaries are available as monthly offerings (like a “mini E-Course”) or as a Complete Set of Studio Diaries. Each month focuses on a particular theme intended to offer ongoing inspiration and further exploration of the Brave Intuitive Painting process. Diaries include a series of painting videos, creative exercises, “couch chats,” contributions from other artists, holistic health guidance and more.

How much do The Painting Sessions cost?

You can purchase The Complete Set of Painting Sessions for $345 to receive 20% off, or purchase an individual Painting Session $36. All Painting Sessions include Lifetime Access.

What do I need to participate in The Painting Sessions?

To access a Painting Sessions, you will need to become a member or purchase an individual Session, and you will need a high-speed internet connection to watch the videos.

If you want to paint along with me, I suggest starting with a basic set of acrylic paint, foam brushes, bristle brushes, paper or canvas, a spray bottle, rags, a jar of water and some clothes you don’t mind getting messy!

I haven’t painted before. Are The Painting Sessions for me?

Yes! The Painting Sessions are all about providing a ton of inspiration, while offering a wide range of empowering tips and tricks appropriate for all levels of experience. If you’ve never painted before, I guarantee you’ll want to dive right in after watching your first Session!

I am already a professional artist. Are The Painting Sessions for me?

Yes! Even if you have been painting for years, this program will offer fresh perspectives, new inspiration, and a connection to an online community of kindred creatives.

I’ve never participated in an online learning program before. How does it work? Do I need to be at my computer at a certain time? How long will I have access to The Painting Sessions?

How much time will it take me to watch each Session?

Each Painting Session will vary in length depending on how long it takes me to finish the painting – there is no formula!

However, you can expect to see a series of 6 -12 videos with approximately 1-2 hours of total painting time. Please note, the videos will be professionally edited and include sped up footage at times.

What if I have issues playing back the videos?

If you’re having trouble viewing a Painting Session video or any video on the site for that matter:

  • Try turning off HD.
  • Confirm that your internet connection is strong and allow the videos to fully load before playing.
  • Check what version of browser and operating system you’re using: http://www.thismachine.info and try to update to the newest version that your hardware can support. Also, some browsers may not support the Vimeo Player (Older versions of Firefox and Internet-Explorer seem to be problematic). We’ve found Chrome and Safari to be the most stable.
  • Full-screen: Click on the four, tiny arrows next to the Vimeo logo to watch the video in full screen. You can use the escape button to return to the post.
  • iPads & tablets: You may need to install the free Vimeo App.
  • Lastly, sometimes a quick restart of your computer can solve many problems.
